You've got to be joking? (For one, Baskerville is not a modern :-)
Do you think authors have anything to say about the choice of paper?
I think I was lucky that they let me veto the first cover design.
(But the letter that came with the second design told me between the
lines that 'we will take this one whether you like it or not'.)

The closer you get to production of the book, the less an author can do
about it.

If I would have had any say in the choice of paper I would have
opted for parchment, in real leather binding :-)
