The Book Box Company, on Vancouver Island in Canada, users recycled books to create storage boxes for personal items like jewelry, passports, or important documents. They somehow harden the pages into a solid mass which they then hollow out through a machining process. The finished product uses the top cover as a box lid. Book Boxes come in a range of sizes from small to XX-large and a wide variety of titles, from classics to contemporary novels.
I've long used books to store thin paper documents, but this is a cool way to extend bookshelf storage to things with a bit more heft.
