Alas, I don’t think there is software that would completely handle all specific aspects of book production, especially related to typesetting, better than InDesign. CSS is far from there still…

InDesign is GUI, right? LaTeX is markup, more like HTML or Markdown, but far more powerful

As someone who has typeset books in both, I’d say that InDesign’s typesetting engine is technically equal to LaTeX’s in terms of regular type layout, superior in usability and productiveness, and inferior only for mathematical notation.
@vgr I would say go with *->XML->InDesign

Depends what is important to you. If you like the idea of abstract structure, and want good typesetting and math, I find LyX fairly easy to use.
