All-in these books cost me about $35. Top to bottom, left to right:
Galen Rowell - The Art of Adventure - a huge coffee table book with some amazing landscape work, even more amazing that a lot of it is on 35mm and prints really well at the large size.
Galen Rowell - My Tibet - another coffee table book with Tibet landscapes and essays by the fourteenth Dalai Lama
Photography as Fine Art - an quasi-instructional book with some interesting photos from "Steichen, Stieglitz, Weston, Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray and Penn." The print quality is pretty good too, especially for a combo-book like this.
Ralph Steiner - In Pursuit of Clouds - I can't believe I found a copy of this famous? flip-the-bird-at-art-photography book with nothing but, you guessed it, pictures of clouds. Surprisingly, they are mostly pretty cool pictures.
John Sexton - Listen to the Trees - almost impossible to photograph due to the metallic paper used for the book jacket, this little hardcover has some great black and whites of, yep, trees. I found it right next to In Pursuit of Clouds and thought, why not?
Developing your own Photographic Style - a lot of thought exercises and examples for how to think creatively. I can't say it's groundbreaking, but there's some good stuff in here too. Also, it was $2!
This is how W. Eugene Smith shot. He spent a lot of time around his subjects before he started shooting so he could connect with them and really understand them to make the best images possible. Read this: https://www.amazon.com/W-Eugene-Smith-Substance-Photographer/dp/0070311234
It'll inspire you. There's nothing wrong with your method. Don't let your professors hammer you into a round hole. I used to teach this at the university level. The best students were the ones who stuck to their vision.
Ansel Adam's books are amazing. The Camera and The Negative are really good. The Print is also good but not really relevant to a hybrid work flow. Still neat reading though.
Picture Perfect Posing by Roberto Valenzuela is a good book that would help https://www.amazon.com/Picture-Perfect-Posing-Practicing-Photographers/dp/0321966465
Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs. Fantastic compilation covering a broad range of his work. I know that most people have seen his work, but this book was extremely inspiring and a testament to his skills.
http://ctein.com/PostExposure2ndIllustrated.pdf - Chapter 6 on enlarging lenses is good info to read up on.
The Kodak Color Print Viewing filters are a good way to dial in color balance. https://www.amazon.com/Kodak-Color-Print-Viewing-Filter/dp/0879857919
If you are on facebook, become a member of Medium&Large film photography, and find Stephen Dirado's posts. Watch, read, learn. He's a master in using the 8x10.

Or if you prefer paper: https://www.amazon.com/Using-View-Camera-Creative-Photography/dp/1626540772/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=15TLX5YSZGE0&keywords=using+the+view+camera+steve+simmons&qid=1557356929&s=gateway&sprefix=steve+simmons+v%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
Browse around, you may find it cheaper somewhere. Amazon co uk, maybe.

I find such view cameras easy to use. The camera demands that you put though into each shot. You'll need a loupe to check your focus on the ground glass.
Do check if your shutter works properly. Get newer filmholders. I started with fomapan + rodinal. You'll need trays, and a completely dark room to develop in.
Can the back stand tilt backwards? There seems to be an axis in the middle of the stand, and a screw at the bottom for it. That is very very useful on such a camera. It allows you to get front to back in focus. Maybe the film plane can also swing, useful when shooting two people, or people that are looking away from your camera.
The lens stand seems to be able to let the lens rise and fall. This will allow you to get the vertical lines in the frame actually vertical. Useful for architecture, but I also use it to tweak the relation of my subjects to their background. Maybe the film plane can also shift sideways.
A reason to shoot 8x10 is that you can make 1 to 1 contact prints of them, and end up with photos of a decent size with tremendous details and tones.

These are my notes going into large format: https://www.thephoblographer.com/2019/01/04/medium-format-slr-large-format-view-camera/
Look up the book “the photographers eye” by Michael Freeman. Its a book focused completely on composition. It has chapters dedicated to each element of composition such as balance, framing, contrast, figure and ground, etc. If photography was a language, then composition would be the grammar. It’s the rules of photography and you can look through portfolios and photo books as much as you want but it won’t matter if you can’t identify the rules being used.

Yep, classic florescent light color temperature. A filter such as this do the trick.
These will keep you busy for a while.
May I ask what program you used to assemble your book?
I enjoyed the pagination. However, I don't think you need a dust jacket on a fabric cover. Of course, this is just a subjective opinion, but I collect photobooks - I have nearly 400 in my collection. I can't say that I remember seeing any clothbound covered book that [I]needed[/I] a dust jacket.
If I were you, I'd lose the dust jacket and keep the clothbound cover as it, as its abstraction adds a bit of intrigue, or add one of your photographs to the clothbound cover a la Olaf Otto Becker: https://www.amazon.com/Olaf-Otto-Becker-Journey-1999-2011/dp/3775731903
Just my two cents...
