Cover with bleed

Hello Everyone,
I have assembled a children’s workbook. The outside cover is full color with a 0.125 inch bleed. The inside pages including the inside of the cover is simply black and white with no need for bleed. How should I package it? Can I give the printer 1 file, a PDF file from Print to Booklet? Should I give him the outer cover as one spread and then give him the innards of the book so to speak? This is my first project with bleeds and color/bw. Most have been menus without bleeds. Thank you for any help and advice. I will continue looking through the forum.
Sincerely,
Ken
You need to ask you printer how they would like the file.
Some guidelines.
Book with self cover and all the same print (colour or black & white throughout) one file.
If the cover and the text are different sizes (hardbacks cover are often a little larger) then two files.
A book like you describe could be one or two files, if two files I include the inside front and inside back covers even tough they are blank. I would do it as one file and specify what is colour and what is black & white/ Include bleed on all pages weather they need them or not for offset printing.
Again always ask your printer what they prefer.
Thank you
