5 out of 5 starsExactly as expected: it is beautiful, closes well, and above all makes a perfect illusion in a well-stocked bookcase.

Frequently asked questions
What makes BookRooks hollow books different from others?
1.) Premium materials: We believe in making things that last. The adhesives we use in our books are acid-free and archival-quality, so you don't have to worry about your hollow book yellowing or coming apart down the road. The magnets we use are the highest grade available (N52), which gives a satisfying feeling when closing a BookRook.
2) Attention to detail: We pride ourselves in obsessing over the details, and it shows in the end product. For example, we apply multiple coats of our archival-quality adhesive to the interior of every BookRook to give it added strength and a smoother finish.
These are the differences that are not so clear in photos but are evident once you hold a BookRook. Love it or your money back.
