3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly recycled, but some original info for limited audience, June 15, 2003

This review is from: The Big Book Of Secret Hiding Places (Paperback)

This book owes almost all of its content to Michael Connor's books "How to Hide Anything," "Duty Free" and "Sneak it Through" and is very candid about it. That's why it only gets three stars.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The BIg Book Of Secret Places, April 23, 2000

This review is from: The Big Book Of Secret Hiding Places (Paperback)

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.
