Finally picked linen over cotton for a rebind and it paid off

I was binding a 1920s poetry collection and couldn't decide between cotton buckram or linen. Went with linen because it lays flatter on thin boards. The spine lifted clean on the first try with no bubbles. Has anyone else switched materials based on the age of the book?

Linen always knows how to behave better than cotton anyway lmao.

Is it really that serious though? Linen's nice but it wrinkles if you look at it wrong, @the_tara.
