Recently we bought at an auction, a false (faux) book that has a Made in Spain Enesco sticker on the back of it. The false book is made out of wood and seems to have brass hinges and nails. There is a leather or leatherette cover on the front with 4 soldiers. One soldier is holding a flag, the flag has a coat of arms on it. The image seems to have a name and date in the lower right hand corner, possibly "Camille Ghisi 1928, Does anyone know anything about this item?
From you description is sounds like your standard book safe only a bit more elaborate.
