What is a "gutter"?

A gutter is a long, narrow channel, usually made of metal, plastic, or other materials, that is attached along the edge of a roof. Its main purpose is to collect and carry away rainwater that flows off the roof, directing it away from the walls and foundation of a building. This helps prevent water from causing damage to the structure, such as eroding the foundation, staining the walls, or flooding the surrounding area. Gutters are commonly connected to downspouts, which lead the water down to the ground or a drainage system.

What is the "gutter"?

The gutter is the space between the pages of a book where the book's spine is located. It is the inner margin of each page where the book is bound. This area is important because it allows the pages to be bound together while still providing enough space for the text or images to be clearly visible and readable. The gutter can affect how much of the page is visible when the book is open, especially in books with tight binding or large text blocks.
