Framemaker 7: The Complete Reference by O'Keefe has good reviews, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. I highly recommend this book.

Re: Framemaker Books
Deidre (and anyone else who's interested) Sarah O'Keefe's Framemaker 7: The Complete Reference has been re-published under a slightly different title. I spoke to her about 18 months ago and she assured me that it was the same content -- and yes, it is an excellent reference. -- Regards, Peter Hi all: I know this topic was just covered, and I've searched for it in the archives, but I'd like also to get your opinions.

Re: Framemaker Books
Thanks everyone for all the good information. Here's what I've learned: 1. Framemaker 7.0: Classroom in a Book is an excellent resource, regardless of what the reviews on Amazon says. 2. O'Keefe's book, Publishing Fundamentals: Framemaker 7.0 (previously known as Framemaker 7.0: The Complete Reference) is also an excellent resource. It's available through www.scriptorium.com as a PDF, and there are plans in the works to publish an upated version for Framemaker 8.0. 3. Scriptorium publishes a number of books about Framemaker, and they offer training courses also. (All of this is for posterity -- for someone searching the archives -- hope it help!) Thanks everyone for your information and advice. I like Art's especially -- read it all and every nugget puts you ahead!

RE: Framemaker Books
Deirdre, ABEbooks.com is a great resource for used books, and they have 17 copies of the Beyond the Basics book (which I found very helpful after Classroom in a Book). Several of the books are practically free + shipping.

Re: Framemaker Books
Add Thomas Neuburger's _The Masters Series: FrameMaker 6_ to the list of good titles. He also sells them from his site: twelfthnight.com.
