He's not at the edges of the page partially due to the print process. You need a large border of disposable material that can be cut from the edges (bleed) should the alignment of the pages be slightly out when the book is bound and trimmed. It wouldn't be much finding half of Wally, so they don't put him where he might be cut in two with a guillotine.
(He's still better as Wally than Waldo.)
- callum85 13y agoI think the margin of error for this kind of printing is usually only 3mm though, so they could still put him pretty close to the edge if they wanted to
- nwh 13y ago3-5mm is standard, but if I remember this books rightly they're fairly cheaply bound (it's been a while since I've seen my copy of the one in that post, saddle stitched or stapled). Assuming a 5mm bleed, you can have at most 1cm cut in from the edge, which is substantial.
- mistercow 13y agoThat's still not enough to account for the size of the region of bias though.
