Two beloved James Herriot classics stacked together and transformed into a charming secret hiding place — a perfect gift for animal lovers and book collectors alike.
Meticulously handcrafted from real copies of Every Living Thing and Dog Stories by James Herriot, this 2-book stack safe blends seamlessly into any bookshelf while keeping your valuables hidden in plain sight. With the first 8 pages of the first book preserved, it looks and feels like a genuine stack of books from the outside.
Every Living Thing and Dog Stories are two of James Herriot's most cherished works — warm, witty, and deeply moving tales from the life of a Yorkshire country vet. A staple on any animal lover's bookshelf, these editions make for a heartfelt and functional keepsake.
Each book stack safe is individually handcrafted in Canada with care and precision. The hollow interior is carefully carved to maximize storage while maintaining the books' authentic appearance from the outside.
