QuarkXPress is an industry standard in publishing. It is here, at least. I know most book publishers use it, and I know of newspapers using it. I use it. It's powerful. You can do pretty much anything with it. There might be a steep learning curve depending on what you want to do. (ie. Does the book have charts and illustrations or other complex design elements?)

If your friend isn't going to be the one publishing the book, all she needs is MS Word.
