The only time I have the board hard up against the joint is when I've sewn the book onto cords and laced the boards in. If the boards aren't laced in, you need a gap between the board and the joint or the book won't open properly. Could that be the reason for the "stiffness"?
Even when the boards are hard against the joint, opening the book causes the leather at the joint to be compressed into a slightly smaller space. I suspect the type of leather might have something to do with whether the wrinkles that creates remain or vanish after the book's shut again. I've just done a quick check of books I've laced onto boards and some have wrinkles, some don't. It seems to be mostly the aniline dyed calfskins that haven't wrinkled. There again, it could just be that I've made a more successful job of some than of others!

Hi there.
I'm afraid my camera's acting up, so...
What I mean is the opposite of a French joint, the boards being right up against the lip of the backed sections with no space in between.
