Indeed.

Issue guide

How bout an issue guide? There's only like 20 and they're sorta hard to tell apart from the covers, etc. I would be happy to start one. Lizstless 02:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity issues/Possible advertising

The band One Ring Zero gained notoriety by becoming the house band for the New York McSweeney's store. As a result of this relationship,[citation needed] they gained the trust of many prominent McSweeney writers and solicited their lyric-writing help in the ORZ album "As Smart As We Are."

Recommendation for the Deletion of McSweeney's Books

I've made the recommendation to delete McSweeney's Books because I think it is a content fork and also reads like an advertisement for the publishing company's inventory status. AnjouRd (talk) 23:16, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything worth saving here - I'll simply redirect it to here. Should there be a recreation of the article, I'd strongly recommend taking it to WP:AfD as Wikipedia is not a catalog of sale. B.Wind (talk) 04:09, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Links to sources

Reference 5 and external links 2 and 4 seem to be dead or inaccessible. Does anyone know where permanent versions of this content is? Tomqj (talk) 12:26, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Book title section

does anyone think "book title" section could be shortened? Geracudd (talk) 2:38, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

It should really be in List of McSweeney's Publications. Once you've finished get back to me on my talk page, I'll give it a look over. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:26, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on McSweeney's. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070618051922/http://mcsweeneys.net/books/bankruptcy.html to http://mcsweeneys.net/books/bankruptcy.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
