Dictionary Story
Dictionary Story – by Sam Winston – was originally a handmade book in an edition of 100 but due to the time taken to create and its limited run they became expensive collectors items held in many special collections including MoMA, The Tate, V&A Museum and The British Library.
With the support of the design community Sam hopes to produce a new and cheaper edition that everyone can afford.
