I think this is a very important step for Wikipedia to be taken
seriously by a more academic public, and maybe also for people who
aren't that tech-savy (i'm especially talking about the elderly). I
would love to give this to my grandmother and be able to say that i
contributed to it (even though i'm not that active on de.wikipedia :).
Are there any pictures online somewhere on how it will look like?

4. Only one dollar to Wikimedia per copy? That's a measly 5% royalty. Who
gets the rest?
While no one has commented on the initial print run, there are certainly
initial production costs that have to be covered, and these can be steep
(copyediting, fact checking, plates, separations, printing, etc.). For a
first run
book which they can ostensibly grab for free, this is actually pretty
generous.
