    The authors use a bijection of Joichi and Stanton to interpret the product \[ \frac{(1-q^{m+1})(1-q^{m+2}) \cdots (1-q^{m+n})}{(1-q)(1-q^2) \cdots (1-q^n)} \] as a generating function for certain overpartitions, and then provide a quick and easy involution which confirms the classical fact that this product is the generating function for partitions into \(n\) non-negative parts, each less than or equal to \(m\).
