Backing up your mnemonic on paper indeed carries risks—if someone finds it or if you accidentally lose it, your wallet could be in danger. There's a clever way to avoid this problem—by using a widely printed classic book as a secondary encryption carrier.

**How exactly does this work?**

First, choose a book that's easy to find and has consistent editions and layouts. Popular classics like the Bible or Shakespeare's Complete Works are especially suitable because their editions are stable and widely available.

Then, take your 12 (or 24) mnemonic words and search for each one in the book. Every time you find a word, note down its exact location—page number, line number, and word position. For example, if the first word appears on page 45, line 12, word 8, you record "45-12-8."

Finally, write down this sequence of location coordinates on a small piece of paper—any format works. The key is to remember (or securely back up) the book's title, author, edition, and publisher.

**Why is this method reliable?**

Losing the note doesn't matter because a string of numbers looks like an meaningless sequence. Even if someone finds it, they won't understand its meaning—they won't know which book to look in. Your wallet information is cleverly hidden within thousands of words. What's more, this book can cost just a few hundred yuan and is available everywhere. Even if the original copy gets damaged, buying a new edition can still restore access to your wallet.
