Your book will be a beautiful gift and of course you want it to look beautiful, too. Here's what many folks do:

Find a book whose design -- trim size, layout, typefaces -- you admire
Adapt the design to fit your idea of a good-looking book
Apply that design to your friend's poems
Print the poems on your laser printer, perhaps using special paper: laid-finish paper is nice for poetry
Find some artwork you like
Print that artwork to use as a cover
Take everything to Staples and have them bind it nicely
Give the book to your friend
Bask in the certain knowledge that you've made your friend's day/month/year
