In June 2015, artist Michael Mandiberg (User:Theredproject) generated a 7,473-volume print-ready collection of the English Wikipedia in PDF format, printed wallpaper representing the spines of the books, and printed over 100 volumes through print on demand service Lulu, as part of an art installation at the Denny Gallery in New York City. The table of contents alone took 91 volumes to list the nearly 11.5 million articles.{{cite news|last1=Schuessler|first1=Jennifer|title=Moving Wikipedia From Computer to Many, Many Bookshelves|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/17/books/moving-wikipedia-from-computer-to-many-many-bookshelves.html?_r=1|accessdate=20 June 2015|newspaper=The New York Times |date=16 June 2015}}{{cite news | url=https://github.com/mandiberg/printwikipedia | title=Github site mandiberg/printwikipedia | accessdate=2015-07-02 }}
