Entertainment / Literature / Folio: A term from the early production of paper and vellum in the medieval period. When a single large sheet is folded once and sewn to create two leaves, or four pages, and then bound together, the resulting text is called a 'folio.' On a single sheet, the page visible on the right-hand side of an open book or the 'top' side of such a page is called the recto side (Latin for 'right'), and the reverse or 'bottom' side of such a page (the page visible on the left-hand side of an open book) is called the verso side (click here to see this visually). Folios are typically large books, twice the size of a quarto and four times the size of an octavo printing. Compare folio with quarto and octavo.
