ADI - Book Design Elements

Books with design elements that I like:

• The Americans by Robert Frank - even pages are blank (focus on one page at a time), titles on even pages, all B&W 
• William Eggleston's Guide - opening 16 pages of text are on green paper, main pages are bright-white, very first image invites you in, odd pages are blank, title and page number are on opposite page, photo page only photo, landscape- eye-level suits the image, portrait - direction suits the image, image titles are just places with maybe year
• Gregory Crewdson, 1985-2005 - large format, german/english text, chapter openings in blue/grey, small thumbnail opposite, plates only on odd pages, white margins
• In Flagrante by Chris Killip - all B&W, sometimes image spreads two pages, sometimes four images over two pages

Camera: Kodak Instamatic 100

Lens is 43mm @ f/11 with shutter speeds of 1/40 or 1/90.

I found a sealed packet of Kodacolour 200 film in the loft. It was in the 126 cartridge format and dated use by 1993. I have no idea if is still usable but for 99p I bought a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera on eBay and will give it a go. If it doesn't work I will load a colour 35mm film into the cartridge (in the darkroom of course) and use it that way. There is a film loading how-to guide on YouTube.
