RectoSeiten

RectoSeiten is a term used in the context of bookbinding and printing to refer to the right-hand page of an open book. In Western cultures, books are read from left to right, and as a result, the recto page is typically the one that begins a new thought or section, or simply continues the text from the verso (left-hand) page. This convention influences layout decisions, as printers and designers often consider the placement of images, chapter headings, and other elements with the recto page in mind. The term is derived from the Latin word "recto," meaning "straight" or "right." It is a fundamental concept in understanding the physical structure and reading experience of printed materials.
