Here is the final layout for the book. I used indesign to create the layout and text, which proved quite effective and was pretty easy to use once I got the hang of it.
So my plan for this book was to print out the pages and get them professionally bound by Elite Book Bindings in Mitchell. I didn't actually think about the problem of printing double sided, which ended up proving the biggest hassle as I couldn't find any printers in Canberra that would do it. I bought some matte paper and tried printing double sided at school through indesign but that didn't really work out either, and the paper I was using was not the same texture on both sides.
With all troubles aside I ended up printing single sided and delivered it to the binder that way. I received my book this morning and the result is excellent. I think in the end the fact that the pages aren't double sided doesn't matter too much as the book is twice as thick this way. Elite book bindings completed the job in less than 24 hours and the results are great so I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to bind anything. The prices were reasonable as well altogether it only cost me $45 to have around 16 pages bound, a hard cover and silver letting on the front cover.
