Unable to Export Book to Blurb: Error Message "GutsSize"

I'm wondering if anyone knows what could be causing this error message or what it means. I've had troubles uploading books to Blurb before but usually after I retry a couple times it goes through. This time I've been getting this error message (at about the 75% mark) and have no idea what it means. I've checked all the pages over for error alerts or icons and can't find anything.

Heh, thanks! I figured out that it does have to do with the size. There is no text in the book but I was attempting to duplicate a book by copying and pasting a layout and then changing it to 'Standard Landscape' rather than 'Large Landscape'. It let me do it but ultimately it didn't work when trying to print. I feel like there should be a way to copy a book and resize it - at this point I'm just going to start from scratch and make a whole new book.

Is that the exact full error message?   "GutsSize"  (or translate)

Could it be referring to the 'Gutter' or Guides? https://support.blurb.com/hc/en-us/articles/207792276-Trim-guides-and-page-bleed-in-Lightroom

Do you have any text panels on pages where the error occurs? and is it possible that some text has over-filled the text box and is not visible on the page?

(My first thought- a "Beer Belly" )

Thanks for the reply.

You should mark your own answer as the "Correct Answer"

I have learnt from your reply, as I have occasionally suggested to others to 'Duplicate' a Book collection, but never thought about the ramifications of changing the page size.

I must remember that any page templates are specific to the page size selected for the book.

Ah... I could be wrong here, but what does Photoshop Lightroom for picture editing have to do with a book?

Is this a book of only pictures... or pictures with labels?

Lightroom DOES have a BOOK module!
