[DCRM-L] term for type of printing

[Deborah J. Leslie]

You know, I don't think it is. Both dos-à-dos and tête-bêche are binding structures that contain two books together in opposite directions. But what it sounds like Billey is describing is a complete interleaving of the two books, and therefore a printing condition. Yes? A single opening will show an upside-down page on the verso and a right-side-up page on the recto.

It is a Tête-bêche! Thank you!

Hello,
Does anyone know what you call a book that has the printing of one story running through the recto pages, but then when you flip it over and upside-down another story is printed on the verso pages?
Thanks,
Amber Billey
