The pages with just photos on act as content breakers - they split up the content into sections, with the intro as the first section, general information about records as the second and the maintenance tips as the third and final section.
Every even page beginning from page 2 will have nothing digitally printed due to printing limitations. I cannot print double sided on any size bigger than a3 and considering my pages will be 12in or 304.8mm, they will need to be printed individually on a2 pages.
Therefore I will need to find something to fill these blank pages. I am considering creating screen prints either with patterns or illustrations, so that the pages will not be blank.
After consideration and feedback I have decided instead of creating a 12" book, I am scaling the book down to 7", the same dimensions as a smaller record. By doing this I can print double sided onto the pages, which keeps the professional aesthetic of the book and I will not need to consider screen printing. The new size of the publication will still fit in with record collections as some vinyl records are 7", the book will just be scaled down in order to avoid the issue of double sided printing. This means I will have to rearrange the layout to reflect this adjustment. I still may be able to keep the same number of pages if I space out the text more and add in more photos, which will make the book richer in content.

Considerations
- in order for the book to stay 7in x 7in whilst being perfect bound, the inner pages will need to have an allowance to be glued together. I will need to allow a few millimetres for this.
- the spine of the book will depend on 1. the number of pages and 2. the thickness of the stock I use. I cannot create the outside cover until I know how the thick the stack of pages stuck together will be - so will need to create prototypes using the stock I will use in my final process.
