description: The origin of graphic design critic Helfand's book on every type of circular interface originates in her own extensive collection of these ubiquitous objects. Sandwiched between the lengthy introductory and concluding essays is a catalog with color plates, dimensions, manufacturer, and descriptive entry of the "movable, concentrically-aligned" wheels that allow you to dial for information of all sorts, including dial-a-weight, dial-a-word, dial-a- remedy, and dial-a-recipe.
