My objection is to the "experiment" claims.  If
this is a real
experiment, do the following:

Charge a nominal price using the cheapest Print on Demand
publisher
you can find.  Even this is a stretch, but I don't know
what
Amazon.com requires in order to list a book.  I'm assuming
you can't
sell a single blank page for $.01  But if you can, sell the
blank
page.

Donate all proceeds to a charity.

Self-promotion is fine, in my opinion, as long as it's
clearly that,
though the topic of the book has nothing to do with this
listserv.
Asking people to buy something that you will profit from in
the guise
of an experiment is questionable at best.
