I would really like to print a book from wikipedia. Neither text nor pdf output works, both functions die with error.
I've been told to ask for experts here.
I am willing to pay to have it fixed if the price is right

I need to look at the production logs to figure out what's going wrong there, but locally I was able to produce the book for you. I'll leave it up for a few days. It's 62 MB though.
Just a quick update. The reason my book above worked is because the chapters are omitted. With the chapters included, images are getting bunch up and not flushed properly, and it's exceeding the maximum (58 > 52), resulting in "! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats." Increasing the max allows the pdf to compile, but doesn't fix the underlying issue. Looking into that now.
Managed to fix it in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/308906/ but that still needs review / deploy before you'll notice a change.
The implication in the commit message there is that, if you're impatient for the patch to deploy, you can,
and it should compile. In the future, it's probably better to file a task, and add the ocg project, for bug reports.
@Arlolra Many thanks for your updates and assistance!.
