Making a RL Zamorak Book

I have embarked on a new book-related project! This one is going to be much more time consuming than my last two books, first of all because it's going to be more intricate, and second of all because it's going to be THICK (over 200 pages). So far here's what I'm thinking:
A red leather-bound book with "aged" pages. On the front cover, the leather will be engraved with the Zamorak symbol. On the corners of the book will be black metal corner protectors. I may add other engravings/decorations to the front cover, but I haven't decided. I might just want to keep it more simple. The book will have clasps (closures) to help keep the book closed, but mostly just for decorations. The inside pages will be dyed in tea/coffee to give them an aged look. I'm also thinking of actually writing in the book (just random Zamorak stuff - maybe his history/spell/armour and maybe the Zamorak God Letters). But if I'm terribly bored of this project by that point, I may not write in it.. but it would be epic if I did!
Progress So Far:
Time spent planning, looking for supplies and buying supplies: 2 hours
Time spent measuring/cutting/dyeing paper: 4 hours and counting (not even halfway done! D: )
I have to get all the paper dyed by tomorrow because I'm going back to university and it's not really realistic for me to do any dyeing there.

I have enough supplies to get the signature block done and I have the rest of the supplies (leather, claps, etc.) on order!
