Hi there all you McSweeney's fans:
I'm sure you are as anxious as I was to get a peek at what crazy new design the McSweeney's team has prepared to wow us with in this latest issue.
I wanted to make a clarification that hopefully soon will be picked up by others in order to correct this faux pas in our listing.
"What we are pretty sure is a volvelle", is not, in fact, a volvelle. "A volvelle (French, meaning to turn) is a paper disc in a book that when rotated can be used as a tool for calculations or other less scientific purposes, such as fortune telling. It is considered the first paper movable to appear in a book." - http://robertsabuda.com/ everythingpopup/volvelle.asp
When the glorious expanse of the new issue is revealed, the layout is similar to how a volvelle would be designed; pie slices of text or other printings. If this issue were to be attached to a base by a connector in the middle allowing it to spin, then it would be a volvelle. Currently, not.
I hope this has been helpful and do take a second to visit the site above if you are interested in movable paper. It's pretty cool. Cheers!
