The pages of Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story are actually made up of bifolia, or paper "folded in half to produce two leaves" (Brown, 1994, p.21) and four pages. Those bifolia are then bound into signatures, or "gatherings, the printed book's equivalent of a medieval quire" (Avrin, 1991, p.301) . The signatures are sewn and glued together to create a text block which is then bound in the casing to create a book.
Foliation, or the "numbering of leaves, as opposed to pages" (Brown, 1994, p.57) is not found in Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story; the book's pages are numbered only.
