So, I'm checking out the Kiss section because I was looking at Toby Wright's discography and he did on of their albums. I noticed that There was a link at the bottom of the related articles called "book"

Once you click on it Wikipedia assembles a PDF of every related article. I wonder how many there are? I only looked for Rush other than the Kiss one and there was one of those too.

This doesn't sound like a bad idea to collect these things.

Rush

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... &writer=rl

Kiss

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... &writer=rl

(I also have a copy of Rush - Visions I found if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.)

Or you could just read Wikipedia. Sounds like they are getting desperate to bring in funds.

It's free and it puts articles in the form of an ebook. That to me is a lot more appealing than a never ending constantly changing loop of hyperlinks that make you feel like you knew less about something than before you started. It guarantees you have covered all the bases on a subject. Plus this way you can create a new one annually and expand upon the area of knowledge and have an archive too. You can share these books with other people and assemble your own versions. I think one dfay I'll get around to assembling an audio engineering one since I know damn near every thing that would need to be included and what definitely does not need to be. I don't see how this is anything but good. Hell, A real expert could easily assemble a book, streamline it, add more information and actually have it published with all the extraneous work cut out.
