Collection: Guest Books for Homes

• Yes, all Transient Books handbound books lay completely open flat.
• Hand-sewn folios allow every book to lie flat when open, making them perfect for writing, sketching, and left-handed writers.
• The heavyweight pages handle ink, pencil, and crayons beautifully.
• One exception: our scrapbooks have removable pages, so instead of lying flat, each page lifts out completely for easy working. 

• Each personalized 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.

• No, pen ink will not bleed through the pages of a Transient Books handbound book.
• We use heavyweight, acid-free matte paper that works beautifully with
ink, pencil, markers, and crayons. No bleeding, no ghosting.
• When in doubt, we're especially fond of good gel-cap pens.

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.
