Canon van de Graaff , on which the classic book spread is built
Spread - two adjacent pages of the opened book.
The layout of the book spread in the old days obeyed certain rules and canons. For example, the German librarian Gustav Milkhzak in the course of numerous measurements calculated three proportions of fields in books of the Renaissance [1] . The German typographer Jan Chichold calculated several ancient layouts of a U-turn, which he described in the article "Free from arbitrariness of the ratio of the sizes of the book page and the typesetting strip" [2] .
