However, that being said, there are three stars' worth of reasons to buy this book in particular: hiding things on your person, smuggling, unconventional hiding methods (mobile/mail/etc.), and concealed weapons.

If you are looking for a good "hide-it-in-your-home" book like I was, then Michael Connor's "How to Hide Anything" is your best bet, as it covers everything from furniture to drains to hotel hidies when you're on a trip and is just an excellent all-around thief protection hidie book.

However, if you are more interested in the more uhm... how to put it diplomatically?, SEMI-legal reasons for hiding stuff, then this book definitely has information to offer that Connor's best-known book does not.

Final note: As with all hiding books, almost all of the projects require you to have carpentry skills and a lot of patience. There are no step-by-step, hold-your-hand instructions on construction. It is up to you to make the ideas presented work for you.

The BIg Book Of Secret PlacesApr 23, 2000

This book tells you many ways of concealing including hiding places in house, in vehicle, and on the person. However, tools and technics of carpentry and vehicle engineering are primarily required in some advance methods of hiding because this is not a how-to-construct text. I really hope that my roommate doesn't have this book.

Not All That Great ReallyMar 14, 2012
By Joshua L. Peterson
Should have went with those other books, ive bought and read Ragnar Benson's Book on hiding stuff, and How To Bury Your Goods. If you really wanna know how to hide stuff from anyone pick up those books.

Reasons i bought this book from Paladin Press is because i needed to order something to keep my catalogs from them coming, we just had our house remodeled and added on to and my wifes been thinking about this topic so she wanted some additional info to read. Sometime here im gonna go buy those other two books and see if there isnt more to learn, you might want to start there also and pass on this book.

Its a good thing Amazon doesnt sell this book!
