Chapters in a book traditionally start on a new page, usually a recto page. Sections instead do not start on a new page.

I can think of some situations, though, where starting each new section on a new page would not be a terrible idea. For instance scientific books or manuals, where it may be useful to quickly locate and emphasize the bundles of information that are organized into a section. Such an idea might also be useful in a book draft, where changing a section may have disruptive pagination effects (e.g. with floats) on subsequent sections.

Do you know of any examples of books that adopt such a practice? Or do you have any insights to share on such an idea?
