Need to hide something? Buy a hardback book at a thrift store and transform it into a hollow book. Just use a utility knife to cut out a rectangular hole in the book pages. Use a straight edge to guide the knife. Use rubber cement to glue all the pages together and you have a great place to hide items on your bookshelf.

Good Ideal.
I have also heard if you want to hide money hide in a Bible.
A thief will never steal a Bible.

It's me again...

I took a pic of the inside of my book!

It's rough, but can be cleaned further, or better yet, you could line it with felt or something of that nature.

I've done this!

it's great, fun, and can actually be funny!

The book I have is on magic (stage magic) titled "Effective Conjuring" which is nearly ironic once I open it up to pull random items form thin air :lol:

I used elmers white glue though...but it was on a lark, and as with most spur of the moment things you just gotta make due.

For a "bigger box" you can actually take several books and simply leave the two end books covers in tact.

(note: There is a book lamp thread around somplace which may fit nicely with this idea).
