This page shows you how to create a book from Clicklaw Wikibook titles in four easy steps. Books can be created in PDF format or ordered for printing on the PediaPress website (PediaPress is an online service that lets you create customized books from wiki content). Note that the book creator tool on Clicklaw Wikibooks is still in a beta stage, as we test and refine its functionality. We invite your feedback!

Step 1: Enable the "Book creator" tool

 
Fig. 1: First click on the "Create a book" link in the left margin.
 
Fig. 2: Click on the green button to start the book creator.

Step 2: Collect pages

 
Fig. 3: From now on (until you disable it, that is), this toolbar will appear on top of every Clicklaw Wikibook page. To add the currently viewed page to your book, just click on "Add this page to your book".

After selecting a few pages, you can click on "Suggest pages" and you will be presented with a list of pages related to your selection. This helps you to create a more complete book if you want.

Step 3: Review your book

 
Fig. 4: Once you are happy with the pages you have collected, click on "Show book" to manage your book. You can give your book a title and subtitle, change the order of pages, remove pages, or add chapters to distinguish certain sections of your book.

Step 4: Download or order a printed book

 
Fig. 5: You can export your book in PDF format and click the "Download" button.
 
Fig. 6: To order a printed book, click on "Preview with PediaPress".
