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.

I have other book safes that I purchased from Amazon, and this is a far superior product. It looks like a gently used book, just like all the real books on my shelf. I appreciated being able to select the title as I was able to chose something that doesn't look out of place. I have moved my most treasured jewelry from another book safe to this one.
