Here is what the final book I made looks like. I had a few problems with printing the dark blue pages and had to tweak them and reprint the whole thing with edited colours. The front cover is screen printed with metallic gold paint, and this almost looks better than I expected, the gold really stands out against the dark background.
The stitching was also a problem, I ended up doing it once, then unpicking it all as it was too loose and the pages were not as flush as I wanted. I decided to use two sets of straight stitching at each end to hold it in place, then do the wavy stitches afterwards which ended up being a good solution.
