indesign workshop how to setup printing a book

Learning how to set up a new document -
thinking about the bleed/crop marks : if i wanted to print a a4 book up to the edge of the page i would have to print it out on a3 and cut down so i would not loose any image.  allow usually 3mm for bleed.

16 pages saddle stitch- must be a multiple of 4 and a even number.

facing pages- use that when we are creating books.
pages palet- over view of whole document
readers spreads- appear on screen as the book will be once its printed and bound- give you a better visual of what your book will look like. easier to arrange book.

 editing text- use type tool
to move around text- select container and move

must be aware that if i am creating a double page image, the pages will not be printed next to each other, therefore i must work out which pages i need to draw the image onto which will sit next to each other when the book is put together.
e.g
left             right 
 8                  1                1 piece
2                   7                of paper                                   this is also applicable in the hand binding 
6                   3               2 piece                                      method 
4                   5               of paper 
the number on each line always add up to one more than the amount of pages in your book.
