I also find it helpful to go to a bookstore and browse many different book types and jot down what I like/ dislike about the typesetting. This also can generate some creative thought about what could work for your book.

Traditionally, do you pay the distributor up front, or do they just take a portion of the profits as the books are sold?

Very important information here.
Also, there is more to reading a book then just reading a book. Sometimes, I enjoy reading outside where I can hear the sounds of the birds chirping in the trees, the smell of the flowers in bloom, and the feeling of the wind brushing over my skin. I would say every reader has his or her special places where they enjoy reading.

I mention this because I believe it is very important for the author to be sensitive to this experience of reading. The texture, color, smell, size, font, etc. of the book all contribute to the overall satisfaction of the reading experience. How do all these attributes add to the experience of your book? You have spent so much energy, time, and heart into writing a book, so don't stop the writing at the computer. Continue writing your story or message throughout the design of the book. I see it as another medium to channel your story or message through, so use it!
