Why choose BookRooks?

1.) Premium materials: We believe in making things that last. All of the adhesives we use in constructing our books are acid-free and archival-quality, so you don't have to worry about your hollow book yellowing or coming apart down the road. The magnets we use are the highest grade available (N52), which gives a satisfying feeling when closing a BookRook.

2.) Unparalleled magnetic strength: We use only the highest grade of neodymium magnets available. Our books feature magnetic closure systems with up to 4.6 pounds of magnetic pull force -- keeping your stuff contained better than any other. This is important if you travel with your hollow book or if your bookcase is toppled over by a burglar in search of hidden treasures. You can rest assured the contents of your BookRook will not fall out.

3.) Attention to detail: We pride ourselves in obsessing over the details, and it shows in the end product. For example, we apply multiple coats of our archival-quality adhesive to the interior of every BookRook to give it added strength and a smoother finish.

4.) Exceptional customer service: Whether it's same-day shipping, gift-wrapping, adding a personalized message to a book, or producing a one-of-a-kind custom hollow book to your specifications, we go the extra mile to give you the best experience.

5.) Innovative designs: From hollow book music boxes, to mini-bar books complete with glassware, BookRooks produces unique and innovative hollow books that you will not find anywhere else.

6.) Environmentally conscious: For some of our products (like our cash box book), we use good-condition used books that we upcycle to create hollow book boxes. Additionally, we recycle the unused cutout portion of our books. This practice not only keeps books out of landfills, but it gives these hollow books a unique, distressed look that adds character while not looking out of place on your bookshelf.

7.) Generous return policy: We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee (excluding custom/personalized orders), although you will likely never need to use it.
