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."

Perhaps this helps deciding how to process.

An update to my previous post...
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.

Hi,
We haven't received "Where to invade next" (is this pt. 1 of the 3 part
special issue?) 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
