A Wikipedia Book By A 22 Year Old

Okay, this is interesting, According to Telegraph, the in-famous Wikipedia has been turned into a book which is 5000 pages long and 1ft, 7 inches thick. Made by Rob Matthews, the book contains 437 featured articles from the popular internet resource and comes up to his knee when stood on the floor.

Rob, a 22 year old graphic design student from Brighton, Sussex, made this book in only 2 weeks. I’m sure it’s not a version where you’ll find each and everything Wikipedia has to offer, though, he filled up his book with the featured articles, something which Wiki claims to be best at. Here’s what he had to say,

He said: “I’m comparing the internet Wikipedia to a traditional encyclopedia by putting it in the same format.

“I wanted to make a comment on how everyone goes to the internet these days for information, yet it is very unreliable compared to what it has replaced.”

“These articles are deemed the best articles in Wikipedia, and are determined so based on their quality of referencing, accuracy, neutrality, completeness and style.”

Well, it isn’t for sale right now but they are hoping to put it on the market later because of a good reaction.
