Reinventing The Wheel Book

by Jessica Helfand

A coworker introduced us to the captivating book "Reinventing the Wheel" by Jessica Helfland, which delves into the rich history of Wheel Charts, Volvelles, and Planispheres. Join us as we take a fun walk down memory lane.

Let's begin our adventure with the  Kitchenette Wheel, a culinary treasure from 1932. This wheel contains 26 recipes designed to help cooks create meals using ingredients already at hand. The quaint artwork adorning the wheel chart takes us back to a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia and warmth. 

Step into the world of country music in the late 1960s with the Country Music Staroscope Wheel. This creation provided fans with a comprehensive listing of beloved country music celebrities, complete with intriguing facts and fan mail addresses. 

Holt, Rinehart & Winston's Puzzle Pets Letter Wheels from 1973 holds a special place in our hearts. These educational tools sparked joy and curiosity, providing young minds with interactive learning experiences. Among the delightful assortment, the pig stands out as a favorite of mine.

The Story of Our Presidents Wheel not only showcases the chart detailing the history of U.S. presidents, but it also includes an image without the top wheel, offering a unique perspective on how the copy fits together.

If you’d like to order Jessica’s book, it is available on Amazon.
