FAQ

Happy bookbinder in bindery surrounded by stacks of handbound books.

• Will my personalized book lay open flat?

YES! The hand-sewn folios ensure that it stays open for display or use.

• How is my handbound book made?

Each book is handcrafted here in house using time-honored bookbinding techniques for exceptional quality and durability.
• Hand-sewn folios
create a strong, flexible foundation.
• Reinforced spines
ensure lasting durability.
• Hardback covers
wrapped in binding canvas and/or heavy cover paper add a timeless elegance.
The final step: each cover is pressed to perfection, taking its final form as it dries.

• Will pen ink leak through the pages?

NO! We use heavyweight, matte paper that is ideal for various mediums—ink, pencil, crayons, you name it. We're big fans of any good brand of gel-cap pens.

• What upgrades are available?

Only at Transient Books, you can enhance your keepsake book with:
Custom printing on the inside covers.
A slipcase for protection & impact.
A gel cap pen.
A gift box presentation.

• Can I use my own design for the book cover?

Absolutely! We’re happy to accommodate. Choose from our designs, bring your own, or mix and match. Just be in touch with your ideas.
We gladly provide cover mock ups so you can see how your book will look before ordering.

• Do you custom print the PAGES of your books?

We aren't able to custom print the pages of our handbound books, BUT! We do offer a variety of page options, including blank, lined, and specialty pages with travel or guest book prompts.

Additionally, we can custom print the inside covers with personalized messages, maps, photos, or checklists.

For some designs, we can even customize the outside back cover, because who doesn't love extra bells and whistles?
