I believe McSweeney's intends "Where to Invade Next" to part of this issue of the periodical: "McSweeney's 26 comes in three parts: two small, oblong books of stories by writers large and small (John Brandon, Amanda Davis, Uzodinma Iweala, and eight more), set in regions near and far (Kazakhstan, Bosnia, Spain, Arkansas), and a third book, Where to Invade Next, edited by Stephen Elliott and inspired by actual Pentagon documents, which seeks to give a picture of just how our government could create a rationale for its next round of wars. Read them one at a time, or all at once, but know that this one's got it all--whirlwind visions of the world of today, and dead-serious essays about which parts of it the United States might soon be confronting." http://store.mcsweeneys.net/index.cfm/fuseaction/catalog.detail/object_i d/7e3092c7-bdf7-4966-87b1-2870ee02f922/McSweeneysIssue26.cfm Perhaps this helps deciding how to process.

We did just receive "Where to invade next" and it appears to be a McSweeney's published title that is independent of the periodical. We will probably catalog it as a monograph and add it to our regular collection. Best, Brenda -- Brenda L. Battleson Head, Print Continuations University at Buffalo 134 Lockwood Library Blg.

With previous issues, we've elected to treat them as special collections materials. Since the dust jackets are comprised of artwork and zine-like content, they really cannot be separated from their respective issues since in many cases, they are a continuation of the content. We don't bind and as special collections items, they are "in-house use only". Hope this helps. Best, Brenda -- Brenda L.
