Hi, I want to merge photos in photoshop and then import into a iPhoto Book as a full page image but every time I do this it crops the picture.
Does anyone know the dimensions I should be using so that the image I create will fit the book's full page without cropping?
Thanks

That will depend on the size of your book.
Look at this site:
It lists the page sizes for the different book sizes.
For example, an extra large book will print 13 x 10 inches - so you would need to crop your photos to the same aspect ratio, for example 2600 pixels times 2000 pixels.
For a full page photo the image should be cropped to the same size ratio as the page, i.e. 8.5:11 or 1:1.3. When the photo is added to the full page layout it should fit into the frame without any cropping. Most other frames are in the 4:3 size ratio which is about the same: 1:1.33.
Or you can Command (right) - click on the image on the page and select Fit Photo to Frame from the contextual menu. This will shrink the photo until it if fully presented in the frame without cropping but will not be edge to edge.
The following is an image from an iPhone with the size ration 1.338 in a full page layout:
This is after fitting the photo to the frame:
If the page background is set to black the two areas at the top and bottom won't be that obvious. It all depends on what's in the photo, however.

Amazing! thank you both! This has sorted it out 🙂 🙂
