apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The speakers-hidden-in-books trick comes from a DIY Instructable from Technochicken. All you gotta do is get your hands on a few cool books—we suggest hunting down a few worn-in ones of different sizes at Goodwill or another thrift store for a more realistic look.

You'll want to get your hands on a drill and probably a small jigsaw, because most of the work for this project comes from carving the cavities that will hold the speakers into hardback books. Once you remove the neccessary pages from the inside, all you have to do is carefully hot glue a speaker inside and poke some uniform holes in the spine of the books so the sound can actually get out.

This might not be a great solution for audiophiles, but for those just looking for a little music to clean to and a few less wires on their shelves, this is a great way to camouflage those speakers. Check out the whole Instructable here.
