Default Printing Photo Books

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at photo book options all afternoon and can't decide on a few things so I'm hoping some experienced scrappers can help me out.
  1. Firstly, how many pages do you think is ideal for a hard cover book? I'm thinking the minimum 20 is far too small but how thick can you realistically go without being hard to handle or risk damage?
  2. Secondly, how do you get it to not cut off the edges of the pages? I've resized my pages to 95% based on a suggestion from someone here a while back but it looks like the page just expands to fill the space. I would prefer a white edge around the layout than to have things missing.
  3. Lastly, how much do you think about the order of your pages in your book? Do you put them chronologically? Do you make sure each pair of facing pages 'matches' or at least 'compliments'?

I'm really confused! I have a couple of pages uploaded to two different sites but I can't make up my mind which way to go. Thanks for your help.
