MAC Running OS 10.5.8 a powerpc can I upgrade to an iphoto that will allow for book creation ? iphoto 5 does not have books ?

OK we are a dinosaur running a 2.1HZ Power PC G5 that still works great !


Home from a great trip to Australia and New Zealand and want to make a book.


Our iPhoto 5 does not have books and we can't get iLife 11 as we are not intel.


Any help or suggesitons other than buy a new MAC ?


Thanx,

Currently, iLife 08 and newer can create books, although I expect iLife 08 support to drop off soon.
