I would think you might want to have this grid on a layer of its own, 
which can be visible or invisible, and never print. If you used a single 
grid, it would need to be designed to function for both right and left 
pages, or you could have two separate layers, one for right, one for 
left, switching on and off as needed -- just leave the Layers dialog 
open as you work.
