Glossary:Spread

Multiple pages situated on a single surface, commonly a minimum of two pages per spread. Depending on the binding method, the pages may be intended to be viewed alongside one another (such as in the case of a center spread – the uppermost layer of a signature, which thereby creates the effect of being at the center when the signature is folded), or alternatively viewed alongside a different page printed on a separate surface. The sequence and alignment of the pages is typically created through collating spreads.
