Question

What is the difference between long edge binding and short edge binding?

Answer

The difference comes down to which edge of the book is bound, and that determines the final orientation.

Binding	Bound edge	Final orientation
Long edge	The longer side	Portrait (taller than wide)
Short edge	The shorter side	Landscape (wider than tall)

Pick the one that matches how you want your finished booklet to read.
