Yes, it was designed to take that into account, you lose about 2% around the edges. That's how you do pages where the images go the whole way to the edge - the print it bigger then cut it down. It's called "full bleed".
Thanks. Yes, I understand bleeds, screens, etc. I did professional typesetting for printshops for 10 years which actually generates another question.
The way the pages are laid out would not be the order contained in the book once bound and folded. I.e., each large double wide page with similar theme would not be displayed side-by-side in the book. For example, your very first double-wide page might actually end up being pages 1 & 40 in the book, the second double-wide page pages 3 & 38 and so forth.
When I typeset books, I had to produce final outputs that were in a "book" format where, for a lack of better description, pages were out of order.
Perhaps I need to see one of these sample photo books. Perhaps they are not being bound in a traditional large book format. Either that, or blurb has a system that makes it easy on the customer by submitting simple double wide sheets which their system automatically paginates/collates into the proper "book printing" format. /Dan
