I'm gonna be devil's advocate here and say that it would be difficult to make it into a physical paper book that would work well as a book and that would be enjoyable to read for someone who isn't familiar with Dink and modding (such as Coco's relatives). You'd need to do stuff like writing a preface and epilogue and quite a few other things that would take quite a lot of work.
The main problem is that you've got a huge bunch of articles full of external hyperlinks that are in many cases needed to give context to what has been written. Obviously in a book format you'd either need footnotes or some sort of reference in the back to help people understand what's going on and in many cases it's going to be too difficult to convey meaning that way such as in the case of YouTube video links.
The alternative would be to make a sort of "best of" collection which sort of shapes a narrative.
My ultimate fear is that if it does go ahead it might end up being half-baked and incoherent or potentially no different to just printing out of the forum threads.
