Nice work! Decent and nice design, good typesetting, I assume some hand 
work which of course cannot be avoided to make the result pleasing.

Just two remarks to the layout. Figure descriptions set in to the block 
(narrow column) produces too large spaces in the lines often. Ragged 
text would suit it better, I think.

Side notes set ragged left (rigth justyfied) on left pages are quite 
difficult to read, I would make them ragged right (left justified) on 
all pages and it would break the overall design at all.

Just wondering, why is Optima-Regular embeded so many times?

Regards,

Jano
