Add my vote to PSB and pbook: Don't do it. Just don't do it.

I don't know what your true motives are, and at the moment I don't think they're relevant. What I do know is that this scheme would make it way too easy for you to wind up looking like pond scum.

Hmmmm. I'll be publishing a book with a logical tie-in to certain charities. I can deflect any suggestion that a portion of revenues for the book should go to any of those charities on the grounds that it would appear exploitive to predicate contributions on sales, and I do not wish to appear exploitive. Tidy. Folks can buy the book and if inspired to do so, make their own contributions.
