Hide your valuables in plain sight with this oversized book safe crafted from the classic Reader's Digest Creative Cooking edition.
Meticulously handcrafted from a real copy of Reader's Digest Creative Cooking, this book safe blends seamlessly into any kitchen shelf or home library — because the best hiding spot is the one no one thinks to look. Its large format provides a generously wide hollow, perfect for storing flat valuables and documents.
Reader's Digest Creative Cooking is a beloved large-format cookbook classic, first published in 1977 — a staple on kitchen shelves for decades. Hidden in plain sight among your cookbooks, no one will ever guess what's inside.
Each book safe is individually handcrafted with care in British Columbia, Canada. The pages are carefully hollowed and secured to create a durable, functional hidden compartment that fits right into any home library or kitchen shelf.
We preserved the first 60 pages of this book, which include several recipes as well as chapters covering all food categories — fish, meat, vegetables, and more — so it still reads like a real cookbook from the outside.
