to go.
WikiPedia offers a book creation feature:look for create a book in the left Print/Export pane.All you have to do is to add the articles of your choice as the chapter of the book;then after going through the book manager(addingtitle,rearranging pages,etc.),You have the book ready.
Now,choose order as a Printed book to get redirect to Pedia Press website and there you can customize the cover page, cover images etc..,or add your name as author of the book.
The Printed book will cost you Approx$10-or about Rs.500,and you get a 21.6*14 you in days.You will also be supprting the WikiMedia foundation,as 10 percent of the profit goes directly to that organization.
There are options to down-load a soft copy as PDF or ODF from Wikipedia itself;but as we said earlier,this is for the ones who prefer it old school,and are still in love with paper.
