We had talked about paperback books, and we'll go that route if it's more economical, but right now many students are saying they'd pay the extra $$ to have a hardback book.
OK, Publisher is very easy to understand (it's very WSYIWYG), so I guess that works for middle schoolers. The programs used in HS are what's used in the 'real world' though.

The only thing I remember using Photoshop for was image correction for the color photos, but if this is going to be in B&W, you shouldn't really need it. Plus, IIRC, Taylor corrected files that were too dark/light/contrasted/etc when we sent everything in and got our proofs (We would add a note to the proof saying 'page 4, image 2 - needs to be lightened' or something).
