Although I'm sure Framemaker is a good product, I recommend that you also give consideration to the Mac version of Ventura Publisher. I use it and I think it's very good. Additionally, it accepts a myriad of PC-based text and graphics files. Also, it's probably much less expensive than Framemaker. For illustrations, I would recommend Canvas (from Deneba Software) or Aldus Freehand for illustrating. If you do alot of scanning, I would recommend Chromascan scanning software and Adobe Photoshop for modifying and cleaning up scanned files. Good luck.
