have you looked at the Hahnemuhle Digital Photo Albums, they are available in A4 and A3 (both landscape format) with more to come. they are using 216gsm 2 side smooth art with some proofing sheets included. I prefer them to the innova opus as they are better finished and the binding screws are hidden as opposed to being external on the opus. also we prefer the quality of the covers. worth investigating some UK resellers do export worldwide

Since my original post, I have purchased an Opus album A4 size for ~$50.00.
The quality of the covers is good, not great as paperman suggests. However, I am very happy to note that the Innova Smooth Cotton dual side is a real eye opener for me. I really like this paper, even better than Epson Velvet and Moab Entrada. As expected the surface is smooth. What was unexpected to me was the gamut and its ability to provide a bright contrasty image with excellent detail. The only remaining question deals with shadow detail. How good can it be? I am waiting to see what it can do with a custom profile. Innova smooth cotton could become my standard against which all else will be judged. YMMV.
