Actually, there is a company that does just that! They take wikipedia articles and make books.[1] There was a discussion related to a new Lisp book [2]. They are selling books on Amazon. I love the one that is supposed to be about Georgia (Eastern Europe) that has a picture of Atlanta, Georgia, USA on the cover [3]. Quality. ;-) Cheers, Adam [1] http://www.alphascript-publishing.com/index.php?&act=nav&nav=10048 [2] http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/784e2ad8f734fb8b/cda6809c45c123a7?#cda6809c45c123a7 [3] http://www.amazon.com/History-Georgia-country-Democratic-Tao-Klarjeti/dp/6130007442/ref=cm_cr-mr-title -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
