Browsing through today's threads I see that the answer to Bella's query at 13.15 was Ever so, E-verso meaning left hand page. I don't think I have ever heard that term before and am curious to know what the term for right hand page is (in case it ever crops up) Can Dandelion or Peterm (or anyone) help?

Yes, I've just checked Chambers - 'recto -the right-hand page of an open book.'
