A major German publisher has decided to sell print copies of a portion of the the German-language version of Wikipedia, the New York Times reports.
The One-Volume Wikipedia Encyclopedia published by Bertelsmann will contain summaries of the 25,000 most popular articles. It willl go on sale in September for 19.95 euros, or about $32.
Beate Varnhorn, the editor in charge of Bertelsmann’s reference works, told the Times that the book is intended to appeal to “new target groups, including young people.”—Catherine Rampell
