Hey, im in a similar scenario. Iv been asked to design & layout a 200pg essay/book. I havt really worked on something this extensive but here is the process i am currently following
First i read the manuscript and went through all the photography to get familiar with the content.
Then got the writer and photographer to add notes to the text referencing images that relate to each chapter and quotes that could be carried out of the body text.
I started working in a collage style by laying out spreads of text and available image options roughly. This helped to see which page formates worked and also gave me flexibility to experiment with various typefaces, columns .etc
Now iv started on the final document carrying over spreads that i feel are strong and designed a final grid structure, typography hierarchy, , color pallet.etc
Still work in progress...
