If you knew someone who had even a TINY bit of graphic design skills, that'd be a great place to try. You could always do something like moo products on Flickr, too, or some other cafe-press-ish kind of item. Etsy is a good place for selling things, too. I met the guy that runs it once, and he was totally inspiring. I think it's great that you want to give money to charity, and think that both of your choices are good ones. I did want to put in a good word for Kiva.org, which is my favorite charity these days. You can read more on their site or ask me if you want, but the basic idea is that you loan $25 to a business in a third world country. They pay it back over time and at the end, you can either take the money out and have it back, or you can re-invest it into someone else. With $5000 USD, you could loan to 200 different business there, and in a year, you could do it again using the exact same money. I have about 16 loans on kiva at any given time and it's been a lot of fun to turn them over when they come due. I'm not knocking your choices - I also give money to AIDS groups and I raised about $10k for Susan G Komen two years ago. Just wanted to throw another name in the pot for a group that I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with. You rock. xo You know, blurb.com does a really nice book, too.

Now let's get it published and distributed worldwide, and raise a million dollars! :D Speaking of publishing, you could also try http://www.lulu.com/ — while obviously not SL-centric, they have some agreements with Google (for good PageRanking ;) and Amazon (for distribution), which is a nice touch.
