“Page” has 3 distinct senses listed in this dictionary. The most common is: one side of a sheet of paper in a book, magazine, or document.

A sheet is the whole physical piece of paper, and it has two sides — each side is one page. So a single sheet in a book normally holds two pages, one on the front and one on the back. When you turn one leaf, you move past two numbered pages at once.

In bookbinding, a leaf is a single sheet of paper within a book, and each leaf has two pages — the front, or recto, and the back, or verso. So "page" refers to one printed side, while "leaf" refers to the whole sheet carrying two pages.

If you open a novel and look at the left-hand side, that single printed surface is one page; the right-hand side facing it is another. Page numbers, such as "page 42," let readers find an exact spot. Newspapers, magazines, and documents all use pages in the same way.
