Production artist is pretty much nonexistent over here... I'm putting together a ten page brochure, saddle stitched. All text on right side pages. Should I leave 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 1/8 inch of space before starting the copy?

you can't have a 10 pager saddle stitched brochure. all saddle stitched jobs must be in multiples of 4 pages.
- ...and multiples of 8 are normally easier to print manage.Amicus
- yes, this is truemonospaced

What size are the pages? 1/2 inch could still look cramped depending on the amount of copy and page size.

This is a design question more than a Production one.
Print a sample on heavy paper?

Sorry, I'ma let you finish but I can't wrap my head around how you manage to go by using inches..
"Traditional standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but now the imperial or US customary inch is defined to be exactly 25.4 mm. There are 12 inches in a foot and therefore 36 inches in a yard."
So basically, your standard had to be stabilized using the metric system but you refuse to use it. And why "There are 12 inches in a foot and therefore 36 inches in a yard" what is the relation? why is it 36? how do you get to that number?

@ESKEMA that's just the tip of the imperial iceberg. A 2x4 stud is actually 1.5 x 3 inches... rule #1 of the imperial system is, you don't talk about the why of the imperial system.
- 1.5" x 3.5" and 2x4 is the rough cut dimension before final milling.ETM
- If you wanted really rough lumber like you see in older homes, than you can get the actual 2x4 dimension.ETM
- yeah, I built with actual 2x4s that measured 2x4monospaced

@ESKEMA Inches work nicely with picas, points and ems, too
