I have the same dream, but I'd like it to plug into the Internet Archive.
Then again, the cost to the world's trees would be substantial because I'd remember about the Serials in Microfilm project[1]. Seriously, check out these images of the collection[2].
Then again, again, think of all the carbon you could sequestrate by printing that many books (and keeping them).
I've even considered DIY book binding so I can print fun things, but it's (obviously) quite a mission. Occasionally I see a novelty reprint of an old volume of a periodical in a museum shop and I start searching for book presses and glue and then sanity prevails.
