I decided to saddle stitch my book in the end instead of making a hard cover for it, although I would have loved to if I had more time. I also decided to keep it full colour as people preferred this to the duotone ones. I was really wary about the type of paper I decided to print on because it was quite thick and I wasn't sure if it would be easy to fold and stitch, but I'm glad I picked it now because it gives the book a nice, sturdy, picture book quality. I am pleased with my book, but the only thing that really bugs me is how the printing turned out way darker than how the colours look on screen; (maybe because I converted it from RGB to CYMK? or maybe the type of paper?) which I think affected the colour quality of my book - some of the pages and the front and back cover don't look as enticing because it's made it really dark.
Some more imperfections:
Because the cover is so dark, scratches from printer, fingernails and ruler after trimming are really visible
I trimmed it crooked the first time so I had to take some more off to straighten it, and I accidentally chopped off a little bit of the speech bubble
