I am using iPhoto V 8.1.2 and trying to make a book. All of the choices for selecting the characteristics of the book are greyed out. My Mac is a MacBook Pro mid 2010 running OS X 10.8.5. iPhoto was installed long ago and this is the first time I've tried to make a book. Can anything be done to restore it's book-making functions?

Mountain Lion-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iMac: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Ordering a book requires OS 10.10 and iPhoto v9 so you won't be able to order the book anyway.

I can produce the book on my older iMac running the same iPhoto and system software, and my brother-in-law, who has been doing this for several years (I don't know what versions of his iPhoto and system software he's running, but I'm trying to find out) assures me that I can still get the book printed. But I want to go on the road for a while and this is a good project to take with me to do on the MacBook. Trouble is, it won't let me even start a book. Am I missing some components of iPhoto in a library on the MacBook, mine or the system's?
