[DCRM-L] leaves pasted together to form a single leaf

[Noah Sheola]

Hi all,
Today I encountered a book where, in at least one place, the printer seems
to have taken two leaves, each blank on one side, and pasted the blank
sides together, resulting in a single (but doubly thick) leaf, with text on
both sides. The signatures and pagination are as it would be if it were a
normal single leaf. I only noticed because the two leaves have mostly
separated in our copy, and are only partially pasted together. Does anyone
know anything about this practice and how to describe it?
The book is A relation of a iourney begun an: Dom: 1610, the third edition
(1627), if you happen to have a copy at your library. Leaf N1 (pages
133-134).
