Um, for $10, this thing is great. I purchased as a gag gift and wasn't excepting much but it is actually A LOT nicer than I anticipated and can certainly pass for a real book. Note: it does not say "Bible" it literally just says "The Good Book". Mine had the protective plastic cover that other reviews are noting (which I removed so my recipient thinks I am giving them an actual bible) but had no transfer of white lettering describing the product, it just kept the book in good condition as intended. The gilded edge of the pages are a very sparkly gold color. The pages are not all stuck together, they all have the flask cut-out but are free to flip. One or more in the beginning is left intact to cover the flask. The covers were of good quality and the embossing on the front was nice as well. I am not sure what it says in the few words under the cross...maybe something about drinking in Latin? I like the elastic band that allows the book to remain closed and the flask still secure during transport. The flask itself is stamped as stainless steel with a 4 oz. capacity. There is no connector securing the screw top to the flask itself so try to keep your wits about you so you don't lose it while imbibing. Although it looks basically like the pics provided by the seller I am adding some as well for reference since no one else had any up. I would certainly recommend this to someone in the market.I pulled this on some friends, letting them suddenly know I needed to consult with the "Good Book" before a meal. I told them it gave me fortitude before a meal when I drank from its contents. They about died until the flask came out. It is kind of a one-off joke, but you do end up with a decent flask, and I may bring it to the next college fb game this fall, and pull it out for inspiration when we inevitably fall behind. The book looks, especially from a slight distance, like a small bible, and appears to have been made out of an actual, though blank, book. The flask itself is of a decent quality, and travelled in my trunk halfway across the country without leaking a drop--it was inside the book, so any leakage would have been quite evident.It was an okay quality for the price, wish it didn’t feel quite so breakable/ripable, but it was fine. Such a hit at the white elephant gift exchange! Did it’s job so only took one star and it’s appearance was pretty nice, good aesthetic.That was a regular but fast delivery. And item looks really the same as a picture. Thank you.I cannot wait to give this to our cousin who is Officiating our wedding! Such a great gag gift and it came in super quickly as well as together. I did not experience any breaking/detachment from the book and we have been "playing" with it until we give it away! The only drawback is on the spine it says 4oz - other that that, no way to tell there is a flask inside.Got this as a gag prop for a show. It's smaller than I thought it'd be and kind of pricey for what you get.Also, flask does not come out easily, as pages are loose and get in the way.Feel like I paid way to much for this.Great gift, fun and appreciatedMy friends asked if I would officiate their wedding this December. As they are not religious and have a great sense of humor, I bought this to use during the ceremony. It arrived in great shape, without any markings that other reviews mentioned. The pages were a bit suck together, but all said and done, this was a perfect companion for my speech!This is a novelty item and I didn't have high expectations, however the quality is very poor and I made a mistake to buy itWhy?- The flask itself was dirty, scratched, badly threaded and just 99p store crap.- Book was badly glued together, the spine was already broken when I opened the package- The pages are very poor quality so don't expect to write a message on them (worth noting for people planning that)Save money and just buy a cheap flask and put it inside a real book from a charity shop I had it one day and went to use it the following & the pages had come apart !A real shame BUT because I love the little flask that doesn’t matter. I was going to ask for refund but am happy with the flaskSmaller than i thought and had no protective packaging when it arrived.furthermore, i feel you need to be careful getting the flask out as theres no central layout whereby this is easy to do and it feels like the thin pages will easily rip.great novelty look, but not practically designed.Nice Idea, but the whole idea of hiding a hip flask in a book is to keep it hidden > The embossing of 4Oz on the book spine kinda gives away what lies under the cover..... lol Other than that, its a nice item.Ps.Personally if it was me putting this item together, I'd actually put some writing on a few more pages inside the cover to give the impression that its an actual book > mainly as the cover kinda suggests that its a bible.The only self help book you needManaged to get my Gin in to a couple of concerts which my bag was checkedResult
