hollow book
Disguised storage container
A hollow book is a book whose interior pages have been cut out to create a hidden compartment, leaving only the outer edges and covers intact.
Used to conceal valuables, contraband, or small objects: She kept her grandmother's ring in a hollow book on the shelf.
The deception relies on books being numerous and unremarkable—no one examines every volume.
Also called a book safe.
