More Book research - What is a book? Layouts

These designs are by Bigactive again, I just like the layouts for both of them,  The first is called "The Firm" And is about thugs as far as I'm aware, It's very cult, and it would be nice for my images to become similar to this for my book, I also like the full bleed, desaturated and high contrast Images on the double page spread... tasty stuff.

The second is a hard back, perfect bound book called "Hide that can", and is about old drunks, who all come together for shelter in a "gentleman's manor" the embossed cover looks great, I also like the use of text in this book, and how it seems to fit seemlessly with the Images. Again, full bleed, Nice.
