Digital BW, The Print

Yo gang!
I would like to make ( to start) 10 copies of a book of prints, each 
about 100 pages. A local shop does an inexpensive clamp binding for 
less $$ than a Kinko coil type - and it looks like a real hard cover 
book - almost elegant. The best price I found for a decent 8.5 x11 
paper was EEM @ $.23 per sheet at Atlex. Of course, it's single 
sided. Do you think it's necessary to insert a tissue page between 
each page? What would you suggest as modest price alternative in a 
duo side paper? And obviously, I'm not going to spray 1000 pages. I 
use MIS carbon pig inks w/ Eboni, so the paper must be matte.

It will cost about $40 to produce each book without counting ink - so 
I'm not going to toss one to every "interested" person. I've looked 
at the various post albums etc on Red River and similar sites. 
They're all very costly, and in the long run look like albums, not 
books.   

BTW, for small work, my cheap little C86 is churning out prints as 
high quality as my big 7600. 

I will listen to all suggestions before I begion this tiresome 
project.  Thanks in advance to all who have been so helpful in the 
past and to those who will put in their .02 on this one,
