Frequently asked questions

Wholesale availability

Due to the nature of my items being hand-carved, I do not offer/permit wholesale orders or wholesale pricing to resell my work.

We do not permit the use of our Hollow Books as a "Supply" or to be purchased to personalize elsewhere to resell.

We do not permit the use of our Hollow Books as a "Vintage Item" to be purchased and curated into baskets without permission and appropriate communication, sets or other reselling within the Etsy Platform. This violates Etsy's Creativity Standards.

Custom and personalized orders

I am able to accommodate requests for custom orders to your specific title requests or large quantity order. All of our Hollow Book Safes are made from real/read/upcycled Hardcover Books. We cannot personalize a title or author on a spine or create a custom dust jacket.

Currently Custom and Bulk Quantity Orders are only available for US Domestic orders.

Please feel free to message me for any large quantity order requests and we can discuss further details/options.

Sizing details

All dimensions (exterior and interior cut-out) are listed for each book individually in the items Description section.

Do your Hollow Books have a magnet closure?

Nope. We have never offered a magnetic closure for our hollow books; they have been and always will be free-opening. We value the longevity of our hollow book safes and reinforcing the attached pages with magnets will separate them overtime. Instead, we offer a budget friendly option of having our items being closure-free. There are many other sellers that offer magnetic closures.

But what is different about your Hollow Books from other sellers?

We never source new books. Many other sellers purchase new books to carve, we solely use read/used/upcycled hardcover books. We take upcycling very seriously and are committed to creating from used items only when we source our books.

We offer a larger interior cut-out. We use a straight-corner cut-out rather than a rounded cut to optimize the size of the interior storage space we can offer in each book.

Can I buy your items to resell in my own store?

No. We do not permit our items to be resold, they are handmade, one of a kind and we would prefer to not work with resellers or wholesale companies.

I need 100+ Hollow Books for my upcoming party/event, is this something your shop can accomadate?

Absolutely! We will need additional information and time to source our materials for larger orders, but we have and will continue to work with individuals and companies that would like to use our items for gifts or in promotional materials.

We have completed orders of over 100+ items in the past and continue to push into different ventures of celebratory moments with used books such as; wedding party favors, bridesmaid matching books, promotional storage, gifts for clients, use in fashion shows and window displays.

What kind of packaging is used when shipping? Will a Giftee know what it is from the outside?

We proudly and proactively reuse packaging materials for shipping.
You may receive your order in a used cardboard box, or with a used bubble mailer, we also use Biodegradable and recyclable poly-mailers.

Our packaging is incredibly discreet and only our shop name is on the exterior for return shipping, no mentions of books anywhere :)

Do you ship Internationally?

Unfortunately, no. We decided a few years back to discontinue international orders. Moving forward, we no longer ship internationally or to freight forwarding addresses. Any orders placed with a shipping address to a freight forwarding facility will be cancelled and refunded.
