Hidden Book Compartment

Thick, hardback books works best to make this, but most books will work.

Step 1

Draw 4 lines, parallel to the edges of the page, a few cm away from the edge of the book.

Step 2
Using the blade, cut along the lines. The sharer the blade is the better because it cuts more pages at a time.
You may need to sharpen the knife every now and then, as paper dulls the blade.
Carry on cutting along these lines until you reach 30-40 pages before the end of the book.
