PediaPress(www.pediapress.com) is a Germany based WikiMedia partner site,enabling all the wiki users (yes, even the unregistered ones) to have print support for the Wikipedia articles.If you are doing some researches on Wikipedia - planning a tour, may be - and want the results later in your hand when you won't have internet access, or just prefer paper, then PediaPress is the way 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 though the book manager (adding title, adding sub-title, rearranging pages,etc.), you have the book ready.
Now,choose order as a printed book to get redirected to PediaPress website and there you cancustomize the cover page, cover images etc.,
or add your name as the author of the book.
The printed book will cost you approx $10, and you get a 21.6 * 14 cm printed book shiped to you in days.
You will also be supporting the WikiMedia foundation, as 10 per cent of the profit goes directly to that organization.There are options to download a soft copy as PDF or ODF from Wikipedia itself;
