Take photos. Stack them. Put them on a shelf. Put the flat sheets near them.

Thanx but...
1. Do you have anything in mind as far as photos? Seen anyone do it?
2. How can putting them on a shelf help?
3. What are flat sheets?
A great way to showcase multiple items is using adobe flash. You can use buttons and or actionscript to mouse over thumbnails and have a larger preview show up. An example would the the "portfolios" secion of a site that i did about a year ago --http://www.imagesinink.net. I hope that helped. for more tips and to view my personal portfolio head over to my website -- http://www.zombo.com

Front face a few of the titles to show the cover.
You could also emulate this effect using your native files and using some photoshop tricks.

Its the unwrapped version of the book cover. Imagine if you opened the book and placed it flat on the table. You'd see the front cover, the spine, and the back cover. I'd include at least one of these so people can see your whole design concept.
