Hallo:
I recommend Adobe FrameMaker Classroom in a Book, from Adobe, and FrameMaker
5.5.6 for Dummies, by IDG. The former is a tutorial-based book and the
latter a reference book. I recommend you go to http://www.amazon.com and
search on FrameMaker. Checkout the comments from readers. Other resources
include, http://www.bn.com and http://www.borders.com . . . and there are
more . . ..
Best regards,
Sean
