Book ideas

I'll be doing my book on Experimental type, with an emphasis on 60's-70's psychadelic posters (think Fillmore). My primary colors will be black and red (like my poster). As for the book itself, I'll be doing a 9x7 book (that's landscape folks) with offset margins. I'll be using a 6 row x 7 column grid to force asymmetry within the pages. Right now, I'm playing with 1" outside margins, but will definitely break them from time to time. As for fonts, I'll be using both a serif and sans serif font - one for readability and the other for captions and whatnot (so far, I'm thinking DIN and Garamond). Anyways, here is a screenshot and a pic of the flexibility my grid should offer.

Grid/Page Structure/Typeface/Color Composition for book

Here is my original idea for my grid, my book is going to be 9x7 and is going to talk about Swiss Style and its influences. I wanted to have a simple layout where I could have an image on one side of the page with a block of text on the other or two images or two text blocks. Right now the typeface I am using is Futura, but I think I want to see if I can find a different sans serif that was popular among Swiss Typographers. Colors will probably include a lot of black and white and most likely one other color that I am not sure of yet, it may be red, but I think I want to use something else. This is what I came up with....
