Endpaper

From LISWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A folded sheet of thick paper, one half of which is pasted to the inside of the cover of a book, the other half forming the first (or last) page of the book, joining the text block to the cover in such a way that a hinge is formed which allows the cover to swing open. Synonymous with endleaf or endsheet. Maps, genealogies, and illustrations are sometimes printed on the endpapers of a book.
