The Book Bench: Wiki Books : The New Yorker
So when I heard that users can now create books from their favorite Wikipedia articles, my initial response was: why on earth would I want that? Who would part with their hard-earned money for a book written by anonymous Internet trolls? But watching the following video, I became convinced that the service, “PediaPress,” might just be an inspired idea:
Perhaps I was lulled into submission by the narrator’s lovely, Isabella Rossellini-esque accent, but a customized Wikipedia book (not to be confused with a Wicca book) now strikes me as a wonderfully democratic thing.
Now here is one I will use again. As soon as people ask me what kind of accent I have in English, I'll just say "according to the New Yorker, an Isabella Rossellini-esque accent". How cool is that?
