Desktop publishing is hyped beyond belief. It has a definite role to play in
publshing, but you can believe half or less of what you read about its
messianic nature. Also, if you aren't intimately familiar with your
applications and their exigencies, DP can seriously frustrate you and leave
you in the lurch.
Bottom line: If you know publishing, if you know what you're doing, if you
have specific goals, if you've done cost analyses, if your application
warrants it, DP can save you time and money.
Go into it naively, believing too much of the bullshit you hear and read,
and you could be screwed.
