I have many "cheat leaflet" like Summary of Unix Commands or other technical
quick-at-a-glance mementos which are spiral-binded at top. They are very handy
because they can be fully flipped to the "interesting" page and slipped into
shirt waist pocket.

You can't tell such a top binding does not exist.

The samples I have can be handled with linked page styles (to alternate chapter
name and page number between top and bottom) without parity to avoid blank page
insertion (because left/right is pointless here). However what can't be done is
printing upside down on the back of sheets so that the page number is always on
the outer edge.

This means you can't print duplex. You first print the odd pages (sheet top),
then the even pages (sheet back) in reverse order after orienting correctly the
sheets in the printer and hoping for no jam.
