Tomorrow I'm going to recommend an office use open office for

I've not used OO enough to know how it supports printing published
pages... I mean "print a stack of paper, staple it and fold it in half"
-- whatever doing that is called. Does OO writer support this (print
pages with different layout/order than editing)? Is OO draw required?
Or maybe another publishing program?
Look at Scribus. It is THE publishing program for Linux.
I still haven't really learned how to use it but I have played with it a
little and read lots of stuff about it. They really are on their way to
competing with the big guys. Their PDF support is state of the art.
Apparently it can produce print-ready documents and can be used with an
open source color matching system and everything.

I agree. I've just started using it and am still learning, but scribus
is deffinitely better for things like page layout and cover design than
OO. OO is still good for creating content, which can be put into scribus
documents. The scribus PDFs also come out better when displayed by Adobe
products, which is what most POD, for-fee, and one-off print shops use.
