I feel you on bookbinding mistakes. I make them more often than not, honestly- it's part of the charm. To save you one of mine: cardstock is not a strong enough cover for a book you want to keep in your pocket. I was trying to make a mini composition book and that crumpled very quickly.
I used to bind sketchbooks with cardstock, but they weren't really pocket carries. Even then they were pretty worn out by the time I got to the end of them.
I usually use chipboard covered by fabric for larger bindings nowadays! Keep meaning to experiment with wood. Still struggling to find a good cover material for pocket books though since it needs to be thin and sturdy, and those traits don't often come together.
I'm at the stage where I'm still experimenting with making good bookcloth. So far my last couple of batches haven't been up to standard, so at most I use them for spines. Still need to get the basics right before I start to think about long term durability.
