One more bit advice for the production, make sure if the printer is doing the binding as well, that they can confirm that the paper will work with their press and bindery.
We had a horror story where we bought our own paper and printed, they said the paper will be fine, but when we got our first few issues there was ink that transfered onto other pages because of the pressure from the bindery, and that it turned out the paper wasn't handling the ink levels they had applied to the paper.
Long story short when we yelled at the printer they spent 2 months arguing that it was the paper mill's fault, and they tried to do everything so that they didn't have to pay for some of the cost of our damages. About 80% of our magazines were damaged, and we were doing about a 50,000 run. I am not sure if books work the same way when being bound, but I never wish anyone having to go through what we had to! Again good luck!
