...and almost everyone in the world refers to a "page" as being a single face of the paper, not a single sheet of paper. Which there are different numbers on the opposite sides of the sheet. <br><br>

Traditionally there is one numbered page on either side of a leaf. But whatever a "page" is, there are 746 of them, and each one can only have two halves, so the accommodated number of families remains approx 1500.<br>
