Steps 6 through 10

Step 6:

Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Baskerville Old Face, regular, 11 pt, crisp and #6B5033 color shade. In a new text layer type the text you want to be written on the page.

Step 7:

Add more text on the second page of the current book design.

Step 8:

Highlight your 'Old Book' layer set on the layers palette and go to Edit > Merge Layer Set. This should turn your 'Old Book' layer set into a regular layer with your current book design. Now create a new layer set and name it 'Final Book'. Place the current book design layer inside the new layer set.

Now apply some perspective to the book design by going to Edit > Transform > Perspective. When the distort points appear on your book design, drag the bottom points to the left to make the same perspective from the picture below.

Step 9:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay and Pattern Overlay blending options to your current book design layer.

Step 10:

Now add some torn pages design showing on the bottom of the book. First add a marquee selection around the bottom edge of the book, see the picture below for the proper location.
