Boris Zbarsky: > In my experience, books in English and Russian have page 1 on the right; I can't think of any exceptions offhand. 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. > That means that odd-numbered pages need a larger left-margin and even-numbered pages need a larger right-margin. (…) > Or in other words, odd-numbered pages need a bigger margin-start, while even-numbered pages need a bigger margin-end, in both cases. 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.
