- Concealing a bomb can be extremely difficult in a day and age where
- perpetrators of violence run wild. Bags and briefcases are often searched
- by authorities whenever one enters a place where an individual might intend
- to set off a bomb. One approach to disguising a bomb is to build what is
- called a book bomb; an explosive device that is entirely contained inside of
- a book. Usually, a relatively large book is required, and the book must be of
- the hardback variety to hide any protrusions of a bomb. Dictionaries, law
- books, large textbooks, and other such books work well. When an individual
- makes a bookbomb, he/she must choose a type of book that is appropriate for
- the place where the book bomb will be placed. The actual construction of a
- book bomb can be done by anyone who possesses an electric drill and a coping
- saw. First, all of the pages of the book must be glued together. By pouring
- an entire container of water-soluble glue into a large bucket, and filling
- the bucket with boiling water, a glue-water solution can be made that will
- hold all of the book's pages together tightly. After the glue-water solution
- has cooled to a bearable temperature, and the solution has been stirred well,
- the pages of the book must be immersed in the glue-water solution, and each
- page must be thoroughly soaked. It is extremely important that the covers of
- the book do not get stuck to the pages of the book while the pages are drying.
- Suspending the book by both covers and clamping the pages together in a vice
- works best. When the pages dry, after about three days to a week, a hole must
- be drilled into the now rigid pages, and they should drill out much like wood.
- Then, by inserting the coping saw blade through the pages and sawing out a
- rectangle from the middle of the book, the individual will be left with a shell
- of the book's pages. The pages, when drilled out, should look like this:

- This rectangle must be securely glued to the back cover of the book.
- After building his/her bomb, which usually is of the timer or radio controlled
- variety, the bomber places it inside the book. The bomb itself, and whatever
- timer or detonator is used, should be packed in foam to prevent it from rolling
- or shifting about. Finally, after the timer is set, or the radio control has
- been turned on, the front cover is glued closed, and the bomb is taken to its
- destination.
