It costs about 0.70€ per printed DVD (quantity over 100) to get your own DVDs. In addition, you can translate and print the Ubuntu Manual, http://ubuntu-manual.org/ (about 140 pages). I do not know about book printing costs. Then, in exchange for a donation, you can give the printed manual plus DVD. Alternatively, you can get a local book publisher to print the book and sell it with the DVD.
