What is the butterfly page?

"Butterfly Page", also known as ring lining, is a piece of lining paper between the cover and the book block. Usually one half is attached to the back of the cover and the other half is movable. Because it is used in the form of two pages connected together, it is called "ring lining", and some people call it "butterfly page". The front of the book is called the front ring lining, and the back of the book is called the back ring lining.

Generally, hardcover photo albums are lined with double rings. Paperback books also have a single ring lining, but the ring lining page is not a folded two-page paper, but a single page, which is generally called lining paper.
