Cute. The author provides a run-down of various creative ways of hiding things (documents, valuables, drugs, guns, people) in and around your house, a hotel room, or outside. Some require more preparation and likely safety than others, depending on the severity of need and/or paranoia.

I liked the insistence on the psychological dimension of creating a decent hiding place, on exploiting the appearance of normalcy and the expectations and mental models of any likely snoopers.

[This review also appears on FingerFlow.com, a site for review and discussion of creative works.]

This guide has some interesting ideas for hiding places (false pipes in the bathroom, the bottom of a pot of food, etc) as well as tried-and-true favorites (hollowed-out books, false-bottom drawers). There are also some fun ideas for hiding people in hidden rooms and floors.

Although there are tons of pictures, some of the descriptions may be a difficult for a person who is not familiar with construction. A few extra diagrams might have helped.

In general, it's a quick and easy read and is sure to get your imagination going. I especially enjoyed the author's emphasis on hiding things in plain sight. If anything, this guide will get you to think about everyday items and places as potential hiding places.
