I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

That's a long signature.

This is probably a joke, but for those that don't know, in bookbinding a signature is the term for the smaller groupings of pages that are attached to the spine.

See how the pages are folded around each other in groups? Those are signatures.

It was a joke, but I didn't know that, so thank you for the edification.

edit: "That" being the fact offered in response to my comment. I was aware that I was making a joke.
