I think that it is certainly better, the book has a cleaner and more consistent design that gets across the narrative. The inclusion of text makes it easier to understand for the viewer.
I was a little confused as to why you had used the different crop sizes but was happy to read in your analysis that the ratio is linked to the media. This makes sense and is a valid idea, just make sure that this is clear within your reflective text when you submit for assessment.
There is one issue though, the book/work needs a title! This will give it an identity (how many books do you know without a title?). It makes sense to title your projects particularly if they will be disseminated to an audience. Think carefully about the title, try not to be too prescriptive and think about how you place it on to the book, could be the cover or just the first blank page.
