There are two types of housing for this book:

Photo Paper Envelope
The housing envelope is a folded poster of the seismogram from 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. It is fastened with a velcro tab and tied with ribbon and CD button.

Boxed Edition
Housed in a pine box, the book is supported by a structure divided into four compartments.

The first compartment contains a photoprint of the seismogram from the May 18,1980 eruption.

The second compartment holds a plastic bottle that, when held up to the light, reveals a printed photo of David Johnson, a USGS scientist who died at Coldwater II during the May eruption. Coldwater II was re-named 'Johnston Ridge' in his honor.

The third compartment holds 25 pick up sticks. They represent the downed trees left covered with mud and ash.

The fourth compartment hold three small plastic botttles. Each bottle holds ash, and debris from Mount St. Helens suspended in a solution of Purell Hand Sanitizer. They are labelled 'Shake Me'.
