A client in Portland handed me a book and said 'it just doesn't feel right in the hand'

I realized the spine was too stiff from using a 90gsm paper, which made it awkward to hold open. Anyone have a go-to paper weight for a more flexible case binding?

More flexible case binding" I always heard 70gsm is the sweet spot.

Saw a bookbinder on youtube say they go down to 60gsm for super flexible spines. Makes sense if you want it to really bend...
