What are end leaves?
End leaves (also called endpapers or “ends”) are actually four pages. Page “one” is glued down, pages “two and three” face you when you open the book and page “four” is the back of page “three”. End leaves are necessary to hold your printed pages into the hardcover binding. Typically they are different paper than the rest of the book. In the RJ Communications’ programs, the one color trade books have plain (white) ends and the full-color children’s books are printed in a single color (most people pick a PMS color). These pages are not counted into the total page count. Not all hard cover books have end leaves. A book without ends is called “self-ended.” In a self-ended book, the eight pages of end leaves are counted into the page count. For example, a thirty-two page self-ended book has thirty-two pages out of which eight pages are end leaves and twenty-four pages are the story. In a self-ended book, there is a visible difference in the way the book looks as you open it, too.
