False Books

More Info

Some secrets are best kept hiding in plain sight. These three seemingly technical volumes blend in admirably among the rest of your library, but they hold a secret. Inside, you won’t find meditations on texture, tips for laser safety, or tales of a machinist’s woe. Instead, an empty cavity awaits, ready to take hold of your secrets and keep them safe — relatively speaking. Our False Books are available in three fictitious volumes: Always Be Knurling by Istvan Tornhøldt, Tool and Die: The Lifecycle of a Machinist by Dell Watkins, and That’ll Leave a Mark: A Comprehensive Guide to Laser Safety by Everett Soot. Each one is handsomely bound, lined with black microsuede, and held shut with a hidden magnetic closure.
