Modelling a Book

Hi all. I thought I’d try my hand at modelling a book, but I can’t seem to get it looking right at all. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could model the book (in a way that would facilitate animation at a later stage)

Thanks

Model it with the covers open, add single planes for pages (or perhaps very very thin rectangular prisms) then use the snap tool to position the 3d cursor, set rotation pivot to 3d cursor, and rotate the covers shut. Adjust the edges that make up the binding. To have pages curving away from the binding when the book is open, use the loop cut tool to put a few vertical edges in the pages, near the binding, so the pages can bend.
