Curate Your Own Wiki-Guide with the Wikipedia Book Create Tool

Help:Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are almost no limits when creating books from Wikipedia content. A good book focuses on a certain topic and covers it as well as possible. A meaningful title helps other users to have the correct expectation regarding the content of a book.

I just love this democratisation of everything; here's self publishing delivered to a keyboard near you courtesy of Wikipedia ...

It's worth keeping in mind that some 'publishers' try to sell books based entirely on Wikipedia content.

I wonder if libraries will start to favour a visual layout like this at some point to showcase their collections.

Love this!  The automatic + member recommendations based on my book list is great when I'm floundering in my search for something new to read.

Yes - especially curious if it allows you to easily top and tail the content so you can frame it better towards your target audiences and objectives.

I really like the idea, the publishing business needs more of this!
