A beloved household classic — in great shape with 2 original chapters preserved — secretly hollowed to keep your valuables hidden in plain sight.
Meticulously handcrafted from a real copy of the New Family Medical Guide by Better Homes and Gardens (1985), this book safe is a natural fit on any home bookshelf or living room shelf. Two original chapters have been preserved inside, maintaining its authentic, well-used appearance. In great overall condition — this one blends in beautifully without raising an eyebrow.
A staple of the family home library throughout the 1980s, the Better Homes and Gardens New Family Medical Guide is instantly recognizable and completely unsuspicious — exactly the kind of book that sits on a shelf for decades 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.
