Personally, I'd go with LaTeX, and get a copy of The LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.).
It contains a large number of examples of image setting, getting text to flow
around images, and all that other fun stuff.

I suppose you could use PageMaker, or whatever it's called nowadays, but that'd
cost lots of money.
