Basic gist - he's taking a whole whack of featured articles and compiling them into a book to show the comparison between books and online. Really, it's interesting....but I can't imagine it holding much impact, when most people will just ignore its existence.

Yeaaaaaaaaa-no. Whoever buys that is an idiot.

Impractical, but pretty cool, actually.

How many pages are in there?

Macawmoses · June 27, 2009, 08:23:45 AM

No idea. It's something like 3 feet tall.

Who would buy that? It's a waste of paper D:

That's pretty funny.
But seeing that, no one should never make a book out of Wikipedia.

Would he/she just copypaste the data and print it?

No, he transposed it. Everything was, at the very least, loosely rewritten.
