libro

English translation: vertical

Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Spanish term or phrase: libro
apertura libro lateral ( muebles-cocinas)
CID
English translation:vertical
Explanation:
It could be a typo, it could be that a kitchen cabinet door or something opens vertically or like a book.
In the referenced pages you can find "sofá libro" (sofa-bed), a term aparently used in Spain (not in Mexico), with libro evidently refering to the way the sofa opens. I even found something called "mecanismo sistema libro". So if your source document was written in Spain, it might not be a typo. Or maybe it is just another crazy idea.
