traduction français vers anglais [PRO] Marketing - Journalisme / Presentation of an event\'s magazine serving a dual purpose
Terme ou expression en français :Le magazine se lira dans les deux sens
I could of course translate this literally but I'm wondering if there's a name in English for a magazine that you can turn upside-down to read from either end. I've tried loads of possible terms but nothing stands out: reversible, bi-directional, dual-direction, ...
Le magazine se lira dans les deux sens, c'est-à-dire que d'un côté figurera le XXX avec sa couverture et de l'autre le YYY avec son identité visuelle propre.

Or, "from either cover": apenglitghs2012.blogspot.com/2012/01/sharing-your-independent-reading-and.html 12 Jan 2012 - It can be read from either cover, each telling the same story from the perspective of one of the main characters (Sam and Hailey, respectively).
But I think maybe there isn't a term to answer my query, and a semi-literal translation is best. I hope you don't all feel I've wasted your time discussing it. It's been useful to me and thanks for all the contributions.
Thanks Elizabeth. That obviously works for somebody, as does "two-ended" - that your link helped me to find.
But none of these terms really seem to find overall favour and I'm coming to think that I'm looking for something that doesn't really have a name in English. I remember my son had at least one French school textbook like this (physics/chemistry or history/geography, I believe) so perhaps it's more of a French phenomenon.

However, "double magazine" doesn't seem common, except in relation to guns.
Take a second look at the cover of this book—this time, turn it upside down. The title, Wordplay, is an ambigram, which means you will be able to read it both right side up and upside down. http://www.amazon.com/Wordplay-Philosophy-Art-Science-Ambigr...
I don't mean you read the words upside-down, but that you can read the magazine normally, or you can turn it upside down and start at what would normally be the back cover. It's more often associated with EFL books, although not very common.
