Creating a Lookbook using blank templates in IBA. I will save as a pdf to print and bind myself. Do I need to allow margin for binding the page in a book? If so, how much? Will the page I view on my screen get cut off?

IBA being generally used for screen-based books, doesn't really have the concept of margin from a print stand-point. I would recommend you do some test runs first and play around with margins to see what works best for you.

For something destined for print, it would probably be better to use an app designed for that, like Pages.
