So the clue was 'Bob, eg'. My answer, obvious to anyone who has children/grandchildren, was Builder.
The correct answer was haircut.
Pah!

So I spent yesterday afternoon and this morning trying to create a book for GrandSon4. Did I mention - yes, I did - I came up with the idea, and began writing it, while standing in the queue for my booster?
And now I remember that writing the book is the easy bit.
Don't get me wrong: it's not that hard to get a book printed by Amazon - the instructions are reasonably clear; it's just I seem to end up with loads of different versions in my effort to get what is required, and then can't remember a) where I've stored them, and b) what I called them.
So it's definitely user fault rather than technology.
However ... when I was downloading a template to create my cover the information needed included the question 'Page Turn Direction'.

Is any haircut still called "a bob" these days? It seems like a hopelessly archaic term to me. Your answer is much more up to date and "with it!"
Were you writing it in Hebrew?
Precisely, Debra!
I don't think so, Stu.
I agree with both you and Debra. The basic haircut is still there, but the name has changed. (I know this, because last time I went to my local no-appointment hair salon the beautician called my style a 'stacked bob'.)
It's a generational thing. I don't understand your "Builder" response, but I do know a bob hairdo. As to page turning: It isn't just you. In working with printers, I can never understand what their menu items mean - usually, as did you, get it backward.
I wonder if page turn means page direction. Which in English would be left to right. Or does it relate to the convention of starting new chapters on the right hand page, all right hand pages odd numbers, all left hand pages even numbers.
I had to think about "Bob" and haircut for a minute. I thought that went out of fashion before I was a twinkle in my daddy's eye. Hmmm - pretty sure we turn pages from right side to left though we do read left to right. You know that people who write instructions never read them (of this I am convinced).
I believed my hair was a Bob so when I needed a new stylist, I told her yo trim it in a Bob. Well...she shaved up the back of my head and left long scraggly bits at the side!!! It took a year to grow it out. Thank goodness it was ovember 2020 so I bought a wooly hat and never went out without it until spring came and my hair had grown out a bit. Grrrrr never went back to her!
