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
