The only exceptions I can think of, are “landscape” books, bound at the top (or bound on the left with the content rotated π/2) and therefore having the first page on the bottom.

But if you want to print two (or more) pages on the same face of a sheet of paper, it can be the other way around, because the inner margins add up. This is of course different from double-page layouts in magazines or atlases, including centerfolds.
