Yes, Classroom in a Book is great.
And don't forget to check out Shlomo Perets's website and resources for Frame. http://www.microtype.com/ ; Very helpful.

FrameMaker Classroom in a Book is excellent.
Unfortunately the current trial version is FM9, but most places are
still using 8 or earlier, which have a radically different UI.
The new UI is in many ways a big improvement, but I found it unusable
on a 1024x768 screen.
