Spec decisions for this book type
- Large formats can make mazes and spot-the-difference pages easier to use, but the trim size should match the audience.
- No bleed is usually appropriate when puzzle content stays inside margins; use bleed only for edge-to-edge backgrounds.
- Blank backs can be useful for writing-heavy puzzle pages, but they increase page count.
- If every puzzle is followed by a blank or backing page, count both pages when planning the book.

Honest boundary
Book Interior Kit helps reduce common file-preparation mistakes, but it does not guarantee KDP approval and does not replace the final KDP Previewer review.
