-The construction has no effect unless the standard class option

+The construction has no effect on documents with class option
+<code>oneside</code> (<code>twoside</code> is the default for
+<i>book</i> class).
+<p/>A special case of this requirement places the caption for a float on
+the next page. (This is useful if you have a float that &#8220;only just&#8221;
+fits the page.) You can (with a certain amount of twiddling) make
+this work with <i>dpfloat</i>, but the <i>fltpage</i> package is
+specially designed for the job:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\documentclass[twoside]{article}
+\usepackage[leftFloats]{fltpage}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\begin{FPfigure}
+ \includegraphics{my-huge-figure}
+ \caption{Whew! That was a big one!}
+\end{FPfigure}
+...
+\end{document}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+That example should produce a caption
+<blockquote>
+ Figure <em>n (facing page)</em>: Whew! &#8230;
+</blockquote><p>
+(Note, however, that the package is an old one, and declares itself to
+be a beta release. I seems to work, but&#8230;)
