 >Davey Board: I buy 9x11.5, 98pt (0.098in or 2.5mm thick) Davey board. It costs $2 per sheet, is pH neutral, and is long grain. With a thin bookbinding leather, these boards will make premium and robust covers. I'd say that you could go thinner, maybe 90 point, but I wouldn't go any thicker. Even a coffee table sized book would probably be fine with 98pt board.

+Glue gets everywhere, and it is important that it not get on the wrong parts of your book. Start by cutting at least 8 pieces of wax paper slightly larger than the text block. Cut 2 pieces the size of your cutting board.
 
 You will want to keep at least one edge square, so it will sit snugly against the spine of the book. I do this by cutting a large strip of wax paper and then cutting off book sized sections.
 
 ## Preparing the Textblock
 
 1. Sand the spine with 80 or 120 to roughen the surface for gluing. You want to sand first so that you can be rough and not worry about damaging the pages.

 >Often the first page is glued to the cover. You will need to either pull it off the glue so that the cover can be free, or gently score it along the seam and pull it out. Typically this page is not really part of the book, either being blank of with reviews, etc. If it is an essential page, you can always glue it back in, either as a leaf or as a made page.

->Headbands: You can do any headband spacing you want. Most 1800s books I own have even spacing. However, I like to leave 3 spaces, for Title, Author, and Date. Recently I've done two at the top (20mm and 40mm) and three at the bottom (10mm, 25mm, and 55mm).
