Jargon Guides
The term recto refers to the "front," or right-hand-side, or odd-numbered, page of a printed work. The term obverse can also be used to refer to the front-side of an object, such as a page in a book, but that term is more commonly used outside the context of books and printing.
The "back," left-hand, or even-numbered, side of a page is referred to as the verso (or occasionally, as the "reverse") side of the page. For more information, see the "Recto and verso" article at Wikipedia.
