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.
