It appears that you cannot currently order a copy -- the Autumn 2004 CD
edition ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD ) is sold
out (though individual bookshops may still have copies, and you can
[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD/Download download]
and ISO image and/or a DBZ file for the reader that was used), and the
Spring 2005 DVD/CD edition (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Distribution ) is
scheduled for release on 31 March, in about a week's time. So you may
want to wait until then.
