Jargon Guides

While technically, verso can refer to the reverse, or back, side of any (usually flat) object; and more specifically to any "back," left-hand-side, or even-numbered, page of a book; here at DP, the term almost always refers to the reverse side of the title page of a printed work.

See also TP&V.

The "front," right-hand, or odd-numbered, side of a page is referred to as the recto (or occasionally, as the "obverse") side of the page. For more information, see the "Recto and verso" article at Wikipedia.
