I'm trying to make a calendar on IPhoto, it is saying I need the newer version,

You need iPhoto '09 or 'iPhoto '11 to be able to order books.  See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412

The upgrade from iPhoto '08 to these versions is not a free update, you have to buy the newer version from the AppStore. What is your MacOS X version? Does it support the AppStore and iPhoto '11?

Mac OS X 10.5.8 supports iLife 09, but not the Mac App Store or iLife 11. iLife 11 requires 10.6.3 when installed from a retail DVD and 10.9 for new purchases from the Mac App Store.

Then you need to find an iLife '09 install DVD. Perhaps you can find a used one at eBays.

Or woould it be possible for you to ugrade your system to Snowleopard?

You could also try to print your photobook to PDF and try to find a professional print service, that can print your book on high-quality photo paper and create a hardcover book.

There's a website that will take pdf files created by iPhoto to print and bind books: Apple iPhoto® & Aperture® Photo Book Printing - Viovio

Haven't tried them so can't comment further.
