This has become exceptionally common recently as many aspects of modern culture are "more visual", pushing people to choose not to read, "especially not to read books" (Solveig 317).

These are considered distinct from the endpapers and the cover, and typically contain the bulk of the book's contents. Most books are made from a collection of peciae, or 8/16/32-page bundles of paper that are put together to form the book itself. This is why some of the pages near the back of some books are blank, because they need to reach the quota.")
