With the entire project available virtually on Congdon’s blog, Designer and Publisher Vangool wanted to turn the book into an ultra-tactile physical object. She explains, “I can recall my grandmother's collection of loose buttons and how marvelous they sounded rattling around in a tin.” At 448 pages, the small, brick-like book fits perfectly into its own tin, which both Vangool and Congdon hope readers will use to house their own treasured finds.
