What is dos-à-dos
In the Middle Ages, when a whole library could not fit inside an e-book, talented masters linked two separate books together in one volume. In those days, reading was not very popular, and the only books read by the majority of the population were religious. The most common books that were often put together were the New Testament and the Psalter, because they were needed during church services. They became very common in England in the first half of the 17th century.
This binding method is known as dos-à-dos, a French word meaning literally back to back.
Modern dos-à-dos bindings are rare, but a slightly modified type of bindings revived briefly in the middle of the 20th century. These books do not have a back cover, but instead have two front covers and one spine. The text of both books is rotated 180 ° relative to each other, so that one text is read “from head to tail”, and the other – “from tail to head.” When the reader finishes reading one book, he must turn it over to read the second book. That is why they are called “flip books”.
