    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 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

    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...
