The whole spine, and this is one time if needed, to use 2 layers of tape to straighten out the bevel...

Yeah I knew this is going to be a little confusing when I wrote it..
Looking for before and after pics on some of my restores to have it make more sense....

Look at the second before pic see the uneven spine wear???
Now look at the after pic see how it has been "smoothed up"????

You can do that with sanding, or using a buffer and greaseless compounds, you are basiacally doing a minor re-grind...
