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.

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). Q
