WTF? Can you read? Do you only read things you agree with, and ignore the overwhelming rest of the evidence?

Lots more where those came from. That's one of the great things about erowid.
edit: flew off the handle a bit, sorry Theratings. Perhaps there is a deeper meaning to your short sentence, but I don't see it.

Did anybody say it would be any of those? Your post has nothing to do with anything said in this thread.

Man, my Mesculine story's got like 15k views, forgot about that website.
I want to mirror that site onto a harddrive, same as icmag, just wish I knew how to.

If you donate to them, they'll send you a dvd.
Clarification to Alaskan:
NO
It already is a book, an e-book.
If you want a copy, print it out on paper yourself.
Make a PDF of the site if you want to have your own digital copy.
Turning websites into books is complex. Just how much do you print, all hundred thousand plus pages? Best to leave it digital, it's the way of the future...unless they start making paper from renewable resources such as hemp.

Use wget:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm if you're stuck on Windows
Just read the manual 3 times first, to get the exact command syntax:
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html
Yeah, I know, RTFM posts suck, so this might be a start:
wget --convert-links --limit-rate=50k --random-wait -p -r http://www.erowid.org/ -o logfile
Be careful with the command, though -- it can really squeeze a server if you're on a high speed Internet connection...

I don't know why you're trying to turn this into an argument, I just thought it would be neat to have all that information in a physical book.
I wasn't demanding that someone go and publish it all with a major label, just stating I thought it would be cool.
Yes I understand I could print it all out, but reams of plain paper in a binder is hardly 'a book'
How do people like you even become moderators in the first place? My only experiences with you are ones where you blow basic statements up into some sort of right vs. wrong argument.
Don't respond to that or anything else I said, it has nothing to do with this topic.
The topic is "It would be cool to have an actual on-the-shelf book with all the information/reports from erowid"
