Proper Margins for the Cover Page
Many Aperture users want to create Imagewrap Hardcover books. This is very easy to do, however you may need to adjust the location of your text on the Cover page because extra margin is needed to allow wrapping of the printed cover over the corners of the book. Interior pages do not need to be adjusted.
By default, Aperture puts your title too close to the edge.
Click Edit Layout and use the square handles to move the text boxes towards the center of the page.
Interior pages are OK since only 1/8" is cut from each side, so there is no need to adjust those.
