A book and container includes a book and a formed thin-walled hollow shell with one open side having a flange closed by one of the book covers to form a closed container. The container has bottom side normal to and flush with the bottom edge of the book, and has a top side joined to the rest of the shell with an elongated upstanding rib in the cross-sectional shape of a narrow inverted U, wherein a first leg of the U is contiguous with the top side of the container, and a second leg of the U is contiguous with the rest of the shell; whereby cutting the base of the U away from the legs of the U will separate the top side of the shell from the rest of the shell to permit the container to be opened.
