Hide your small treasures in plain sight with a handcrafted book safe made from a real, well-loved copy of Rodale's Book of Hints, Tips & Everyday Wisdom. Its aged, vintage-style look helps it blend naturally into a bookshelf without claiming to be a vintage edition.
Condition note: The copy currently available for sale has less wear on the cover than the copy shown in the photos.
Meticulously handcrafted from a real book, this hollow book safe turns an everyday reference title into discreet storage. Place it among your favourite books and keep cash, jewellery, or personal keepsakes quietly tucked away.
The original reference book brings together over 1,100 tips on health, food, fitness, car care, home energy, the workshop, and more. This copy has been transformed into a hollow book safe, giving its everyday-wisdom title a new purpose as a hiding place.
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.
Exterior: 9.25 x 6.25 x 1.25 inches
Interior: 8.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches (measured at top of arch)
Measurements are approximate. Interior measurements are taken at the top of the arch; please check that your items will fit.
