+Once more, in no particular order, I learned the following:
+
+- This book does not require blood sacrifices, thankfully!
+- If a single page falls out of a section, be mindful of what direction it's facing when you re-insert it
+  - Otherwise, you will pull a _me_ and not realize you have a single folio with the torn edge facing the wrong way
+- An x-acto knife that is dull can cut through most papers with enough pressure, and produce a reliable cut
+  - If you have experience with x-acto knives on materials that aren't paper, telling when a blade is dull may be difficult
+  - Especially if you're in my position, in which every x-acto knive I've used before this has likely had the same blade for years
+  - Don't be me and find out when you switch blades when cutting cover board for the first time
+- Finding heavy things to apply pressure to something being glued down is diffuclt in a classroom and/or a dorm room
+  - Especially if even weight distribution is the goal
+  - Textbooks don't count when you use a tablet with e-books, and don't have physical textbooks on-hand anymore
+- The cover paper tends to tear very easily, especially near the spine with the diagonal holes
+- When a phone reportedly takes a photo properly, be sure to verify, especially if the flash is enabled

+Once more, in no particular order, I learned the following:
+
+- Coincedence and Murphy's Law graced me today, as I had exactly the right amount of paper left to complete a book
+- Pink cardstock and lavender thread make a wonderful color combination
+- Open holes less with an awl than before and then fully with a needle to result in prettier spines
+- Cardstock covers are painful to align properly. Thinner, decorative paper may be worthwile to look into for future bindings
+- The ladder pattern looks amazing, and a decent artist could probably extend the pattern onto the covers for the aesthetic appeal
+- After all the other books, this felt extremely easy, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
+  - Murphy's law, collary: If nothing appears to have gone wrong, you aren't looking in the right place
