Need Inspiration/ Good books for research

[Optimusdinkus]

Hey everyone!, This is my first post.

On to why I'm posting this.

I have a 3 month deadline with a dentist (cosmetic) and his assistant in getting a book together. Its basically a medical textbook that he is putting together. Im now on the phase of the cover and chapter marker pages, which is some of the funnest part at the moment

Sadly, 90 percent of most textbooks don't have anything really appealing imo. The last book he published did very well, so any suggestive readings? Not necessarily how to books or anything, but mainly good structured portfolio books showcasing good book design specifically or even the books themselves.

The book is an instructional Textbook, and Im also trying to come up with good ideas for making step by step pages with analysis text body's that go with them as well.
