A classic garage staple — 34 original pages preserved — secretly hollowed into an extra-extra-large hidden compartment for your most important valuables.
Meticulously handcrafted from a real copy of Chilton's Auto Repair Manual (1983), this book safe is the ultimate hiding spot hiding in plain sight. Thirty-four original pages have been preserved inside, keeping it looking like the real deal. Its substantial size delivers one of the largest hidden compartments in our collection — over 2 inches deep with a wide, generous interior. Perfect for the garage, workshop, man cave, or any bookshelf.
A trusted reference found in garages and workshops across North America for decades, Chilton's Auto Repair Manual is instantly recognizable and completely unsuspicious — the kind of heavy manual that sits on a shelf for years without anyone touching it. The perfect cover for your most important valuables.
Each book safe is individually crafted by hand. Pages are carefully secured and the hollow interior is cleanly finished. Minor natural variations are part of what makes each piece unique.
