Thank you for sharing your method with this didactic, very clear video. Allow me a few comments (my own) after testing: 1) If the height of the book is not at least twice its width, then the "hidden" flaps as well as the spine flaps need to be shortened. 2) On the lid side, because the dimension of the sides of the box is 1 book thickness minus 1 board thickness, then the parts that make the front must be adjusted to "1 book thickness minus 1 board thickness, two fold, 1 book thickness minus 1 board thickness". Otherwise, the three sides of the lid have different dimensions, which is unsightly at the corners. 3) On the tray side, the width should be the width of the book + 1 board thickness because the front side which is folded towards the inside of the box occupies the space of 1 board thickness. It should even be 2 board thicknesses because of the spine flaps. This will obviously reflect on the lid, where 5mm doesn't quite accommodate the two added board thickness I just mentioned. I believe all these considerations become less important as the size of the book grows, but the glitches become quite apparent in smaller boxes. I am using a 3mm corrugated board, single wall, B flute. Best wishes.
