Help with DIY Hidden Book Storage Box

I'm trying to turn an old hardcover book into a hidden storage box, but I'm stuck. The pages keep tearing when I try to cut them, and I'm not sure how to hollow out the book without damaging the spine. Also, I need advice on how to seal it properly. Does anyone have tips for cutting pages cleanly, hollowing out the book, or choosing a good adhesive? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
