I'm creating a template for a photo book using minipage to insert a picture in each page.
The problem I have is that I cannot get consistent margin using the geometry package. My gut is that the minipage is adding some space and I get some warning that I think are related to the this issue:
Overfull \hbox (15.0pt too wide) in paragraph
I already checked other classes like photobook and pagelayout but I cannot do what I want that basically is what I designed withi the code below: an A4 book, 2 sided, 1 page = 1 photo (the can be horizontal or vertical), and an optional caption.
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
\documentclass[a4paper,twoside]{book}

ignoreall,
top=5em,
bottom=5em,
left=5em,
