Wikipedia is now on a printed book as Wikipedia Encyclopedia which contains around 3 million articles in site.The articles included in this book is just 0.01% of the Wikipedia Site.

This book has contains about 5,000 pages and it’s a compilation of 400+ featured articles all picked from Wikipedia. The book is very Huge which is about 1feet 7inches high

Wow, 1feet 7inches high its huge, What could be the price for 0.01% of wikipedia articles ;)

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

[adamparkzer]

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

Valid point. So we don't need this. Just we will check on wikipedia site. ;)

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.

indeed an interesting question..

I could have ordered the book to look it up, but the internet is a little bit faster i guess.
1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets

0.3 trees = one fat book

And i wound't buy it because i can search on the internet, yust a stupid idea if you ask me.

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...
