<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Last year there was a discussion about this on the Exlibris list. The consensus seemed to be that the best term, though not established, was “Book safes.” People said this term had been used quite a bit in English.
If you do a Google search for it, there are a lot of hits. For example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve encountered a wonderful little hollow book in our copy of the second volume of
<i>Les institutes de l’empereur Justinian</i> (Lyon: 1717). It’s hollow after p. 22 and has 18<sup>th</sup> century marbled papers lining the cut out text block and has the French royal coat of arms on the front and back covers. I’m trying to decide how best
to catalog it. I could not locate an applicable RBMS controlled vocabulary term. Is “hollow” book the appropriate terminology? Any cataloging suggestions or examples to pass along?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
