When two leaves (four pages when printed on both sides) were printed on a sheet so that it could be folded once, collated with other folded sheets and bound, the format of the volume was a \"folio\". When four leaves (eight pages) were printed on the same size sheet, which would later be folded twice, the format of the resultant volume was a \"quarto\" (four leaves). The term \"octavo\" relates to the sheet having eight leaves printed on it."}
