Inkheart (Book 1) - Cornelia Funke

Wonderful quality for a great price!

I've recently got into book safes as a different way to collect my favorite titles, and Inkheart was one of the first bigger books I read when I was younger. It was awesome to find it here, and SSB's prices are so much more reasonable than the $70-$90 I see elsewhere. The quality is fantastic, I love the door/arch shape of the compartment!! You can tell it was made with love and care. Ship time was quick, and I received the book without issue!

Now, if you ever find the first book of The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) or A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas), I'll totally be back...

Thank you guys so much, small businesses like yours are the best!! Take care!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our book safe for your collection! We're thrilled to hear that you are happy with the quality and price. We put a lot of love and care into our products and it's great to know that it shows. We'll definitely keep an eye out for The Dresden Files and A Court of Thorns and Roses - thank you for the recommendations! We appreciate your support for small businesses like ours. As always 'Happy hiding!'

Great product and company

I love these secret books. I purchased two to give as housewarming presents and another for a teen - kids that age especially appreciate having their own private things. The staff were lovely to communicate with about shipping, etc. I will absolutely purchase from them again in the future.

Hi Jo! Thank you so much for your kind words about our product and company. Robert and I are always happy to assist with any inquiries, and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Happy hiding!

Looks perfect

From the outside and the inside these books are great! Visually there is nothing that would indicate what's inside. The fact that it is a real book with some wear is even better.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Import Car Repair Manual. We're glad to hear that the book looks perfect both inside and out. It's also great to know that the wear adds to the authenticity of the book. We hope it continues to be a valuable resource for you. Happy hiding! D & R

Very Well Made

As with my previous purchases, the book safe is made from a real book and that's just what it looks like from the outside. Very nicely crafted. This particular title fits in perfectly with my other mystery novels, so it won't look out of place. Got a big book this time so I would have something that could hold an external hard drive. Very pleased.

Thank you, Richard , both Robert and I appreciate the time you take to share your review each time you purchase. Stay tuned to the website as there are some different items that being created in the workshop, hopefully some fun storage options but as always they will be made from real books! for your kind words about our product. We take pride in crafting our book safes with real books to ensure a high-quality product. We are glad that it was able to accommodate your external hard drive as well. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon.

Great concept, well executed

Love the idea of these book safes. Plus they are very well made. I would buy again.

Thank you for your kind words about 'An Echo in the Bone' and our book safes. We are happy to hear that you appreciate the concept and quality of our products. We would love to have you as a returning customer. Thank you again for your support, and Happy Hiding!

Well made and beautifully hand crafted.

Great customer service, fast shipping and not cheaply made like other book safes being sold online. Would definitely buy another when the time comes.

Excellent Work

The creation of the hollow is so neatly done you cannot tell from looking at the book from the outside. It looks like just another old book on my bookshelf. The inside of the hollow is also very neat and smooth. This is the place to go for a realistic book safe. The other options you find on the Internet all look fake. This is the real deal.

Thank you, Richard, for taking the time to leave a review for our 'Collected Poems of Robert Service (1968)'. We're happy to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of the product, especially the hidden compartment.Robert and I both take pride in creating a realistic and functional book safe. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we hope you continue to enjoy your purchase.

Excellent craftsmanship

The craftsmanship and construction on this cutout book is great. And it is/looks like the real thing. Great selection on the title, as well.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you are satisfied with the craftsmanship and authenticity of our product. We strive to provide the best selection and quality for our customers. Donna & Robert

Did not receive item

Shipping took forever

Hello Laura, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Once the orders arrive at the shippers destination they are out of our control, we rely on the times that they give us for delivery to be accurate. Alas as you have just alerted us it looks like the US customs is delaying the transit. This is something that seems to be happening since the cancelation of the De Minis exemption (low value orders). Both Robert and I apologize for the delay.

Treasure Island Secret book

We were so thrilled to receive our Secret Storage book for our son. The design of the book is beautiful and very well made. The staff went above and beyond to help make our order process very smooth. I would highly recommend Secret Storage Books for any of your upcoming gifts as it’s the perfect gift to give!

Good morning, thank you so much for your review, both Robert and I loved recreating the book for your son. This was our first one to be created so it was a learning curve for us! But after your review we will be working on more to add to our store. Happy Hiding!

Great Storage Book and Great Service

I found Secret Storage Books online searching for a great looking way to store small items. I love that these are made from real books and you can find books of different topics. I love animals so I went with a book about exotic fish. It’s a lovely item and I am in the US but this shipped from Canada fast. I plan to buy from them again! Thank you!
