In my experience, books in English and Russian have page 1 on the right; I can't think of any exceptions offhand. That means that odd-numbered pages need a larger left-margin and even-numbered pages need a larger right-margin. Books in Hebrew, iirc, mostly have page 1 on the left. That means a larger right-margin for odd-numbered pages and a larger left-margin for even-numbered ones. Or in other words, odd-numbered pages need a bigger margin-start, while even-numbered pages need a bigger margin-end, in both cases. I can't speak to conventions in other languages. -Boris
