Seen here is a classic book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is an old Sherlock Holmes book. The book measure roughly 5.5 inches wide by 8 inches tall by about an inch thick. This size is very versatile and can hold a lot of different things. The cutout inside is roughly 6 inches long, by 4 inches wide and and inch deep.

Hollow Book Safes have been around for many years. They are decorative, yet very practical. Books are often overlooked by intruders nowadays. So if you're looking for a good place to stash your goods, then why not in plain sight... in the least of likely places? These hollow book stashes make great gifts and are often seen as a cool novelty.

I have a few different styles of book safes, different books, different shapes cut out, etc... Feel free to look around my shop and decide which one will work best for you. With each book, once the pages are cut, I then secure the remaining part of the book's pages with professional book binding glue. Each book is crafted by hand using techniques I learned in a professional bindery.


*** Please note: I recycle and upcycle old, new, and vintage books. All books are in used condition unless otherwise stated. Most books show some signs of "character" (slight wear and tear), but all the bindings are in good, often repaired condition. Rest assured I mainly use overrun books or ones that no one wants. I will only cut up a new book if for a special request, and that also depends on the book. I refuse to cut up any Bibles/religious books, original classics, or books worth any great monetary value.
