False Books - Limited only by Imagination

Doors: Without doubt, secret doors have earned their place in History. At the British Library in London for example, the circular reading room is crowned by doors filled with False Books, which date back to the libraries origins in the 1950's. Shugborough Hall in Stafford has three doorways filled with books created when its library was extended in 1750.

Cupboards, Cabinets and Covers: One of the most ingenious uses for Faux Books after the time honoured secret door is for cupboards, cabinets and covers. From small electricity cupboards to large inbuilt cupboards, tv cabinets and radiators, Faux Books enables the ultimate in volume concealment. Videos, magazines, clothes, even un-wanted gifts can be hidden behind Faux Book doors.

Filling Bookcases: Faux Books are a fraction of the price of antique books, and for this reason they are frequently used to fill bookcases along side the genuine article. Even libraries have used Faux Books to enhance their collections. Faux Books have been used in many films and TV sets.

Library Walls: For pure effect and impact, Faux Books are used, often on a large scale, to create the library look. This effect is used extensively in hotels, restaurants, board rooms as well as in domestic schemes. Using Faux Books in this way can instantly change the mood of a room and add a calming influence throughout.
