Transient Books offers a wide variety of high-quality, handmade journals, artist's books, and custom bound books. We specialize in handbound blank journals & diaries, as well as an extensive array of custom bookbinding services for those who need their creations handbound in unique volumes and/or housed in cases, clam shell boxes or portfolios. An ideal solution for self publishing poetry, thesis, memoirs, essays, children's books or novels into bound books. Or, use our custom bookbinding services to design your own scrap book, guest book, custom journal, baby book, recipe book, wedding book--just about anything. We gladly handbind books and journals for resale.

Transient Books also offers limited, very special collections of our handbound artist's books including poetry, stories, and other illustrated musings on our travels throughout the North and South American continents.

Transient Books began on a boat in Alaska before introducing its creations to the streets of Mexico and Central America. After traveling and binding for years, we now offer our handmade artist's books, blank journals and custom book binding services through our US distributor, as well as from our somewhat certain home in the sierras of Córdoba, Argentina.  We are a small family business at the end of a dirt road in the countryside, grateful everyday that we get to wake up each morning and create books.

We design and hand-make every one of our sturdy, original creations from start to finish, and we guarantee their quality, usefulness and implicit joy. You won't find artists' books, blank journals/diaries or custom bound books this spectacular, this one-of-a-kind, and this reliable anywhere else.
