I had the same problem when typing up my thesis and the solution I used was
to redefine the \output routine thus:
\def\output{\ifodd\pageno\hoffset=0in\else\hoffset=-.5in\fi\plainoutput}
The default (in TeX) for \output is \def\output{\plainoutput}. You will
probably have to fiddle around with the dimensions a bit to get it just right.
