A binder's comment about my grain direction made me redo 14 books
Last month at a local craft fair in Portland, a guy who does restoration work on old texts pointed out that my grain direction was wrong on half my journals. He said the pages would ripple and the covers would warp within a year. I went home, checked my stack, and sure enough I had cut the boards every which way. I tore apart 14 books and recut everything so the grain runs parallel to the spine. Now the covers stay flat and the pages turn smoother. Has anyone else had that moment where one stranger's observation saves you from a pile of future returns?
