Bleed only applies if you have print running all the way to the trim edge. It's not really something someone can recommend or not recommend, it depends on your book.

Are you printing photos or not?
Bleed means printing all the way to the edge of the page
No bleed means a guaranteed margin on all sides
If you're printing photos that you want to cover the whole page, you need bleed. I use this for full page cookbook photos. The lack of whitespace gives cookbooks and picture books a more professional look.
If your book is text-only, you don't need any bleed. If your text has photos, bleed is a good idea.
