Shoutout to the librarian who told me 'a book's spine should flex like a handshake, not crack like a whip'
That one line from a chat at the Central Library last week completely changed how I approach rounding and backing on my personal projects.

Remember the spine needs to flex, not just the cover. You get that gentle handshake feel from working the glue while it's still warm and pliable. Press the rounded spine down onto your work surface with steady, even pressure.
