Wow, that's the biggest book I have ever seen in my life. At least it shows the vast amount of information the Internet has in print :)

Each featured article on Wikipedia takes up an average of 12.5 pages? That's a long article!

I wonder how many trees have to be chopped down for this book... :cool:

I heard somewhere that an average tree makes about 100,000 sheets of paper (don't know what type or quality, though), so that book would've probably taken about 1/20 of a tree.

That's a crazy-tall book, totally impractical for reading though. I guess it just shows how much information they've gathered on Wikipedia. I'd rather see a multi-book Wikipedia...

(Pst, mods, all the links in the first post of the thread are spammy.)

See, this is why typical encyclopedias use these things called “volumes”.

That defeats the object of having the internet then, if you also want what wikipedia has to offer in a physical means. I think it's a little silly.
