I don`t believe that for a second, the English only section has about 3 million individual pages, of which the majority are more than one page long....assuming that the book consists of approx 3 million individual pages it would need to be .0048 X 3,000,000 inches thick which by my count is 14400 or 1200 feet thick

(.0048) is the guesstimate of the thickness of a piece of paper

^ depends on the font size (it could be tiny). So, sorry for wasting your time...

Indeed, that`s not even close to the volume of Wikipedia...not at any legible font size. I`ll bet it`s just a stack of blank paper with a cover.

^^^ You are right. The description here is bad, as he only printed out about 0.01%.

Regular encyclopedia sets are bigger than that.

This encyclopedia is also revised and rereleased with a new edition every few milliseconds.

If you were to even attempt to print out every page in Wikipedia, how long would it take to finish printing?


With the rate of new entries added and updates; it could technically never finish.

A true Wikipedia book would have a bunch of pencil/pen scribbles of people making a whole bunch of "editting" throughout each page.

gentlemen, the question your all dancing around is this: where would one find the coffee table big enough to place that book upon?
