Are you refering to the page immediately preceeding the title page? If so, that is called the "frontispiece."

"Verso" is on the left, and "Recto" on the right.
From ODLIS (the Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science):
recto
The upper side of a leaf of parchment, vellum, or paper, or the right-hand page in a bound volume when opened, usually assigned an odd page number. The opposite of verso. The title page and dedication, and the first page of the preface, introduction, table of contents, chapters, appendices, indexes, and other major parts of a book are usually printed on the recto. Also, the side of a single printed sheet intended to be read first, unless both sides are identically printed. Also known as the obverse.
verso
From the Latin phrase verso folio, meaning "with the page turned." The back side of a book or the left-hand page of an opening in a book or other publication, usually assigned an even page number. The opposite of recto. Publisher's imprint, publication date, notice of copyright, ISBN, and CIP are usually given on the verso of the title page of a book. Also refers to the reverse side of a single printed sheet, the side intended by the printer to be read second.

The left-hand page is called the reverse because it is the back of the preceding right-handed page. The right-hand page is called the obverse.

Verso is the left-hand page of a folded sheet.

Everyone who said 'verso' and 'recto' is right.
Assuming you mean a book that is not in Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, or any other writing that does not go --->. LOL.
