What is the best computer program to create a Class Reunion Memory Book?

I want to include pictures, answers from a "what have you been up to" questionnaire and contact information. That's pretty much it, but I'd like it to look nice and in full color as well as spiral bound, etc. What computer program would be best?

Adobe, definitely. Or, ask the people at Kinko's what most of their customers use.





While I'm giving advice:





The single most important thing you can do to insure a good time is talk to the DJ before hand. The people who never left town and see each other every week at PTA, soccer practice, poker night etc. are going to want to dance. The ones who did leave town and flew 1,500 miles to attend are going to want to talk, and they are not going to want to shout over the music.





The ideal solution, if you can afford it, is to hire two rooms. Unless you are from Beverly Hills High, you won't be able to do that. Having the music "on" for 30 minutes, then off for 30 would be a reasonable compromise. Promise the DJ the same amount of money as if he played all night. Impress upon him the desire of half the audience to talk. Reunions are not the same as dances or concerts. People (some people) want quiet time, to talk. Keep hammering that home to the DJ. If necessary, tattoo it on his forehead backwards and give him a mirror. Appoint a "Quiet time" monitor.





I hear "It was a nice reunion, but the DJ ruined it" a dozen times a year from friends and family.
