It is real, and now read this... Wikipedia: Books_LLC. They are selling Wikipedia books too.

"Print on demand and electronic products

"Books LLC publishes print on demand paperback and downloadable compilations of English texts and documents from open knowledge sources such as Wikipedia.[3][4][5][6][7] Books LLC's copy of English Wikipedia is republished by Google Books. Titles are also published in French and German respectively under the names "Livres Groupe" and "Bücher Gruppe".[8][9][10] Books do include URLs of photos instead of the iconography of the original documents. According to the FAQ page: “We understand how annoying that can be for the reader. But our first priority has to be respecting copyright laws. In addition, the resolution of the online photos are not high enough to print in a book.”[11]

In 2009, Books LLC and its sister imprint General Books LLC produced respectively 224,460 and 11,887 titles.[12][13]
