Field notes

Aurorapaper explains bookbinding through concrete bench tests and measured instructions rather than broad craft inspiration. It distinguishes long- and short-grain stock, recommends testing paper despite supplier conventions, and gives separate sewing guidance for ordinary and taller spines. The homepage also includes a calculator intended to reduce sheet sizes to their folded leaf, though the extracted evidence does not show the calculator interface itself.
