i think it would be best to just put it back into the box and say a prayer for the trust she placed in you, BUT, if you feel compelled to sell it and make some money off of it, then ask her parents for advice. Me?! I wouldnt even consider selling it, so it is a 'moral' AND 'ethical' question.

I like Donna's response. By the way, what if they want a sequil?
Respect your friend's wish! You wouldn't be a real friend if you didn't!
Respect her wish and put it away. If u publish it guilt would prevent u from enjoying any financial gain. It was a gift that was meant for u and not for the world.
i would hold it dear to me forever and treasure it for the gift it was .........................
all the way to the publishers ..............show me the money ...not

I think the book is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.....
And, how do you KNOW it would be a best seller.
Perhaps, hw/she wrote it to HELP YOU ONLY??????Knowing you!

I would keep the acursed book but will it to my kids for them to publish with a long and thoughtful forward. The gift was for you, once you're dead it's payday.
I don't have any friends who would put me in that kind of moral dilema. (at least I hope) But if I did, and if it happened, I would publish the book. I'm asumeing that we had something in common and that is what I would want my friend to do if the situations were reversed.
Just my humble opinion....(slowly backing away)
