Bookcase that splits to reveal hidden compartment

Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our John waxes lyrical about this bad-ass zip-up bookcase with a hidden compartment. Drool.

Although I have since fallen into the German bohemian style of book storage which involves rooms lined with teetering piles of cracked, used paperbacks upon which half-empty beer bottles have been haphazardly stacked, I used to have a love affair with book cases, and this break-apart Platzhalter delights me. I believe that secret compartment in back is where I would store the books I don't like guests discovering: my disturbingly water damaged copies of Naked Came The Stranger and My Secret Life always raise more questions than their prominent display is worth.
