Found an interesting thing about wiki....
Wikipedia as a Printed Book
The English edition of Wikipedia Encyclopedia contains around 3 million
articles as of now and if someone were to print the entire Wikipedia
encyclopedia into a book, the size of that book would roughly be equivalent
to 952 volumes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_in_volumes> of
the Encyclopedia Britannica.

This Wikipedia book has some 5,000 pages and it’s a compilation of
400+ featured
articles <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: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 which is like placing 4 iPod
Touch devices on top of each other

The more interesting part is that, Rob
Matthews<http://www.rob-matthews.com/index.php?/project/wikipedia/>a/>,
who came up with this idea of printing Wikipedia, also has plans to sell
this book according to
Telegraph<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5549589/Wikipedia-turned-into-book.html>
.
