http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Made_with_Scribus you will find quite a list of things done online and in print with Scribus. Also, go back to the main page of the Wiki for other advice/help. If there is anything else you need help with, come back to the list and ask. Right now, I think the recommendations would be to either use v1.2.5 (officially the "stable" version) or v1.3.3.3 (officially "unstable" but quite good and has more features than earlier versions) -- if you're using Windows, you'll have to use the latter.
