John, I have been printing quite a bit with Innova Smooth Cotton, and 
it it scuffs very easily. For books? no way. I just picked up some DCP 
varnish to try and would consider spraying only those pages in a book 
with images. I have also printed with a Legion book papaer, but don't 
recall the specific name right now. It could be a 115g Somerset but 
I'll need to check the package.
