Are there any plans on ordering a set of questions to be printed out and delivered in book format such as wikipedia has planned to do?
Your prayers have been answered long ago: http://www.stackprinter.com/
http://www.stackprinter.com/export?question=2836&service=meta.aviation.stackexchange
You can use the site to print the questions one by one into PDF files and then merge the files into a booklet.

$\begingroup$ Wow... I never realized how terrible it is to read hyperlinked documents with all the links converted into footnotes. I think I just had a bad acid flashback to college cross-referencing bibliographies. $\endgroup$ – voretaq7 Nov 6 '15 at 5:25

$\begingroup$ @voretaq7 well, if you don't like it you could add
prettylinks=false
to the querystring like this $\endgroup$ – systempuntoout Dec 23 '15 at 19:53 -
$\begingroup$ Broken link.. they changed the order of meta in the API response. Should be corrected in: stackprinter.com/… $\endgroup$ – systempuntoout Apr 2 '17 at 9:49
None I'm aware of.
The Stack Exchange network licenses user submissions under CC:BY-SA 3.0 though, so as long as you properly attribute each post you're putting in your collection there doesn't appear to be anything else standing in the way of such a project.
Organizing such a book would be a significant challenge - even the taxonomy of tags doesn't really do a good job of putting questions/answers into useful, indexable categories (at least IMHO).

$\begingroup$ True. But if a user could select specific questions and get them printed out I think it would be an awesome reference. $\endgroup$ – Fabrizio Mazzoni Nov 5 '15 at 21:58
