how to send a photobook to another country?

Hi, I just made a Apple photo book on my Macbook. Previously I did not encounter any problems with the order process, but now I've been told it my time is not correct and I should change this. I live temporary on Aruba and would like to send the photo book to my parents in Holland. But it seems that this is not possible! WHY? And how can I change this? The photo book is a present for someone here on Aruba and I'm not going to Holland anytime soon. If I enter my address in Aruba, it says it cannot send products to this address. So, I'm stuck! What to do?!

I hope someone can advise me! Thank you very much.

I just tried to copy (command+c) my book like told in the tutorial. But now everything is gone!

I placed it in Documents, but it says it's only 5MB and when I opened Iphoto with the option button everything is gone (also other books and all photos).

Where can I trace it back?! I cannot believe it's all gone!

There is no command-c in the tutorial. The step was to duplicate the book by selecting it and typing Command-D.

What step are you referring to?

I've got them back! (using option button again and getting my former library back)

I've read it wrong, so that's why it went wrong.

Still, there are a lot of steps before copying the book. Not sure if I will manage

There are lots of commercial services in the Netherlands that can print a nice book for you. For this - just forget about Apple. I had the same problem and gave up.

Seeing as how his post is eighteen months old I'd guess he's probably figured something out by now.
