I was thinking about 'splurging' for something a little better like Photoshop or something diff, but right now i'm iffy.
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).
