Everyone can edit the online Wikipedia but producing it as a printed product is troublesome thanks to the static nature of the printed page -- you would have to at least add large margins for user editing.

Instead of doing that, why not print the book in erasable ink, ink with rubber in it as seen in erasable pens. Then if there is an omission , if the printed wikipedia is out of date, or if you just want to vandalize a page you grab the handy eraser, remove what you don't want, and write in what you prefer.

       Yes, white-out is just so tedious.

       White out? But it's designed for poor countries that don't have white out!

       Even in the poorest countries, people have pencils and books have margins.

       I thought this might be a book it was easy to piss off.
