nt to sell/give me?

i'm making this mix for a friend w/a children's book theme and was hoping to hollow out a section inside a book to hide the cd in. right now i'm just using a dictionary but i it'd be nice if it were related to the theme of the cd. i've been to a few places but haven't had much luck. thought someone might have one collecting dust somewhere

Have you visited thrift or used book stores nearby? I'm sure you'd be able to find something there. I love my big ass children's books and would hate to part with them.

does it have to be thick? it's not like CDs are thicker than like 15 pages. or are you putting the whole case in there. make th book the case.

I think he just needs something thicker than your average Dr. Suess or Little Golden Book.

those are like $4 at a bookstore, probably cheaper if there's a bargains section.

yeah, i went to a few thrift and book stores expecting to find a pretty decent selection, but unfortunately was unable to find anything i could use. looking for something with at least 3 or 4 hundred pages, and about 7" wide - the older and thicker the better. haven't figured out exactly how i'll hold the cd inside- thinking of just attaching the plastic thing you find in a cd case that normally holds them in place to the inside of the back cover. anyway, i'm sure i can find something on ebay or something

400 pages? i'd think if someone's got a 400 page kids' book they're not gonna wana let it go, especially a hardcover.. there might be like a pooh collection or something, but other than that you'll probably be paying a pretty hefty sum.

What about one of the Shel Silverstein books? Those are pretty thick.

Or a hardcover copy of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

how about the greatest fantasy childrens book:

the bible!

or the necronomican (sp?)

a children's bible. not a bad idea at all. especially since i was considering titleing the mix 'blesh you.' bible paper though, would be hell to cut through. and i have no idea what necronomican is

Not that thick.

My son has been reading all of his books right now, so nah, they're not that thick.

Anyways, I'm rather against this hollowing out of any book thing. That's just evil to do to a book.

that's why it's best to find one you've never heard of at a used bookstore.

Yes but I'm saying I don't like it at all whether it's a book he knows or not. :roll:

I know what you're saying, but if it's a piece of shit no one wants anyway, and he does a good job with it, it will be at least as useful/meaningful in container form.

I have a ton of children's books that i just snatched up from my mom's attic. they're all old and worn, too. unfortunately, i'm not at home right now and won't be until late tonight.

pm me and let me know what dimensions you're looking for and i'll find something for you to use.

done for the most part. decided to use a smaller book- had to sacrifice the secret book safe feel a thicker book would have provided, but i think this works a lot better. unfortunately the disc skips so i'll probably have to make another book-case.
