I really don't think that helps. All the book-binding analogies are
only confusing.

If anything, I'd make things more explicit. Stupid and
straightforward. Maybe just "struct head_page" or something like that.
Name it by what it *is*, not by analogies.

None of this cute/clever stuff. I think making it obvious and
descriptive would be the much better approach, not some clever "book
binders call a collection of pages XYZ".
