+Formatting double-page floats in LaTeX
+
+You sometimes want to format two, full-page figures or tables to appear
+side-by-side in an opened book. The first figure must be on the left (even
+page) and the second figure must appear on the right (odd page).
+
+LaTeX provides no way to assure that two consecutive figures will come out
+this way. This double-page float package, dpfloat.sty, allows you to specify
+that a float must appear on an even page, and thereby allows you to format a
+double-page figure.
+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You format a double-page figure by formatting two consecutive, full-page
+figures, specifying that the first must appear on a left page. The other
+will follow on the right page.
+
+It looks something like this:
+
+ \documentclass{...}
+
+ \usepackage{dpfloat}
+
+ \begin{document}
+
+ ...
+
+ % a double-page figure
+
+ \begin{figure}[p]% will be the left-side figure
+ \begin{leftfullpage}
+ This is the left side figure
+ \end{leftfullpage}
+ \end{figure}
+ \begin{figure}[p]% will be the right-side figure
+ \begin{fullpage}
+ This is the right side figure
+ \end{fullpage}
+ \end{figure}
+
+ % end of the figure
+
+ ...
+
+ \end{document}
