    You spoke of a video where you create the perfect textblock for a book like this one. Do you trim the edges of the textblock before you sew into the cover?

    What specific type of cardboard do you use for covers? Thickness, etc

    I use handmade paper for my covers, but you could use a 110lb card stock (this is the weight used in scrapbooking).
