It seems that Apple is adopting a slightly strange policy of leaving out users who have not upgraded to Lion, however, it throws the law, it cheats.

Faq-Mac colleagues bring us a tutorial on how to install iBooks Author on Mac OS X 10.6.8. To achieve this, the following steps must be taken:

1. Go to the path: System> Library> CoreServices> SystemVersion.plist.
2. Open the file with the Textwrangler editor (download).
3. Search the file for the labels "ProductUserVisibleVersion" and "ProductVersion" and change the values ​​"10.6.8" to "10.7.2".
4. Now we go to the Mac AppStore, we download iBooks Author and when it is done, we do not open it.
5. Once we have iBooks Author downloaded, right-click on the iBooks Author icon and select the option "Show package content."
6. We look for the Info.plist file inside the Contents folder and open it with Textwangler.
7. We modify the value of the label "LSMinimumSystemVersion" from "10.7.2" to "10.6.8". We save the changes.
8. Now we go back to System> Library> CoreServices> SystemVersion.plist and we modify the labels "ProductUserVisibleVersion" and "ProductVersion" changing the values ​​"10.7.2" for "10.6.8".
