As far as I can remember, and my memory is not so good on design matters these days, is the difference between a French and a Japanese that a French consists of seperate trimmed sheets per page and a Japanese has a series of pages created across the length of a sheet?
Also, is it defined as Japanese because its printed on reverse and french is always blank on the reverse?
Would be good to know because I would say French by default.
- isnĀ“t the japanese blank on the reverse?Mau
- japanese is printed on reverse, i dunno if that blue is the paper, i think it's printed.jimbojones

I want to do separate pages, not folded together in one large sheet like the two images above. I am more concerned on the bind in the first image. Sorry for not being more clear on that and thanks for the info on the folds too.

I would guess that the fold/bind mechanism is merely a simple saddle stitch, but with both cover stocks at the front. The very frontmost one being long enough to be folded back round the spine area to become the back cover, concealing the saddle stitches behind a blank margin area if you get what I mean.
- Oh wait, you knew this, you just wanted to know the name of it. Sorry, I forgot what the question was.Orbit
