So the results so far from my survey (after 13 minutes of being posted) has yielded conclusive enough results as to how I should progress with the brief. Basically, the 2920 historical tome would be the most appropriate in terms of deliverables and whatnot. The guide seems to be a popular item, which drives me to conclude the first book binding attempt should be based around this to practice the technique and hopefully gain something professional looking.
I will be posting another survey to enquire if one volume would be suffice as opposed to 3 bound books, as it would be undertaking a monumentous task to create 3 up to a decent standard considering my current knowledge/experience of bookmaking.
I have contacted my blacksmith and he is on board for the project.
These are some initial type ideas for the books I will be producing. I wanted the year to be a major feature on the cover, as the content dictates the title also, I wanted to capitalise on the fact that it is the year is intrinsic to the game, as well as the players who sing its praises. I dont want anything too decorative in case it loses all sense of readability and legibility. For the body copy, I do need to consider the period the game is set (loosely based in historical know-how) roughly 14th/16th century, which means that I will need a serif typeface to portray the historical value as accurately as possible. This takes into account how close the typeface needs to be in terms of game-wrodl accuracy as well.
