Wikipedia Print Version – Only One Tree Per Issue!
One of the webs many advantages is the advantage of having as many pages as you want without cutting down a single tree. Awfully green I say! So why on earth would someone even try to take the largest known encyclopaedia and put it down on paper?!
Some chop, is releasing this Wikipedia book that has some 5,000 pages and it’s a compilation of 400+ featured articles all picked from Wikipedia.
And, as you can easily make out from the photographs, the book is huge – it’s about 1ft 7in. high or just as tall as a 30″ widescreen monitor. My word!

TO be honest, I can’t see many people buying it, and if they do it would probably be as a novelty. Imagine lugging this baby with you to the library to complete a research project!?
I don’t even remember the last time I opened an encyclopedia!

That is just ridiculous – the freaking spine will cave in before even reaching the halfway mark… At least our ‘old school’ encyclopedia’s were split into a number of books.
(They could have printed on both side’s too)
