Take any book you may have around you and you will notice that this is a strict typographic rule (...well... at least so I was told :-) )
As a former typographer and a reader of many books I can attest that this is more of a convention rather than a strict rule. In addition it really only applies to books that are read from left to right, top to bottom.
The convention started, as I understand it, because we tend to pay less attention to the left hand page than the right hand page so one would want to start a new chapter, division, idea where the eye would give it more importance.
But this is not fixed by any means. I'm reading Terry McMillan's "Mama" and chapter 9 starts on a left hand page. Publisher is Washington Square Press and they have a good reputation for for quality on the whole.
