Barska Portable Diversion Dual Book Safe - Hidden Lock Box for Valuables & Personal Items | Secure Storage for Home, Office & Travel | Discreet Concealed Safe for Cash, Jewelry & Documents

AWESOME: I think these books are fantastic. I would definitely buy them for hiding small valuables. Before my purchase, I read several complaints about the books not looking real - or the pages not looking real, and that once you open the flap, you can see it is a safe. My guess is that most folks are not going to leave these lying around on a desk. If you look in the pictures at them on the shelf, you absolutely cannot tell they are not real books. They are positioned on the bottom row and then there is a close up of the row with the four right next to each other. There was also criticism about the locks. I don't even use the locks. If a thief is into books, takes this off the shelf, sees that it is a safe - regardless of there being a lock, the book won't be there when you get back.COMPARISON OF SEVERAL BOOKS: I bought four of these hidden book "safes." I bought different ones because it seemed there was no sense in having four of the same book on my shelf. So what I have done is laid them out next to each other so that you can see the difference. While they are all comparatively the same in length and width, the Paris book is definitely deeper. A couple had felt, but not this one. That doesn't detract from it though. The felt in the others was cheap and did not stick well to the metal sides (but is functional and serves its purpose). One benefit I found with all the books is that even though they are similar in size, each book is a different size from the other from the outside, making them look more like real books on the shelf.RESULT OF COMPARISON: Of the four I purchased, there was no difference in quality, but there was a pretty significant difference in price. While this one was the deepest (largest space), it actually was not the most expensive. This is a great book for the price - especially when you consider the storage space!
