About Us
The Story
Trevor made his first book safe in April of 2014 as a gift box for his girlfriend. It was made from an old dictionary and featured a ridiculously strong magnetic closure and LEDs that lit up like a refrigerator when it was opened. He filled it with jewelry, chocolate and knickknacks then wrapped it up and presented it to her. At first she was a bit confused trying to figure out why she had gotten a dictionary for her birthday, but that confusion quickly became delight when she discovered the treasures within!
Since then we have produced thousands of book safes, our process ever evolving in pursuit of mastery of the craft. BookRooks was created to share our hollow books with the world.
