For a properly paginated book:
Left=even=verso
Right=odd=recto

Looking at a two page spread the even page is on the left and
the odd page is on the right.  The command however lists the odd
page parameters first, then the even page parameters. The manual
does not make this clear. The wiki does. Thanks for that reference. 

With respect to the first parameter, location, I could not make the
command work properly unless the first parameter was [text] followed by
the other four.  Perhaps this was a peculiarity with my particular file.
Now for some reason it works without [text]. Perhaps Hans waved a
magic wand?

Thanks for your input. When I was searching wiki  I could not find the
wiki passage you noted. I did not enter "Command" first.
