Click on the headings below to view the information.
Printers ALWAYS refer to pages when referencing books. Pages
in books always refer to page one (the front of the "sheet")
and page two (the back of the
"sheet"), etc., just like every book, magazine or newspaper you
have ever read. So a printed piece referenced as 10 pages, has 10 pages -
5 sheets with the potential of printing on each side.

If it is a book, newsletter, magazine, questionnaire...it has
pages. If a book has pages that only print on one side of the
page, the blank side is still a page in the book and consequently
counted as a page. A 32 page book that prints one side only on
16 pages is still a 32 page book. A book may be bound or not
(loose pages - unbound for some reason) it is still a book and
reference is made to pages.

Sheets are separate and usually unique pieces of paper that
may or may not be related to each other and can print one or
two sides. When referring to sheets, you need to further clarify
the sides to be printed. If there are multiple sheets to the
project, you need to clarify additional bindery applications
needed. IF one of those applications includes binding into something
that may be construed as a book...IT'S A BOOK...see above, and
refer to pages.
