5 out of 5 starsIt’s perfect! They were able to ship it to me just in time for my trip and I couldn’t be anymore thankful. It’ll be the perfect way to track the memories from my roadtrip from the North Pole to Chicago!

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully made, came with adorable little colored pencils to color in the states. I will say though it is a bit over priced. But ..... it is beautiful and my retired parents LOVE IT!!!

Carolina Herran
Maker
Caro is our right hand here in the studio. While Magu and I race around (tracking down materials, doing admin, attending the clients and the children), Caro patiently makes headway on the ever growing stack of books that need to be completed.

Sara
Shipper
It's all about family! Sara is my sister and she takes care of all the shipping from Salem, Oregon. None of this would be possible without her creativity, organizational skills and good humor.

Maugi does it all: she makes books, gives Magu the hard time he deserves, keeps an eye on the production schedule and timing, and never loses her cool.

Frequently asked questions
Really? FREE SHIPPING on all orders within the USA?
Yes! We offer FREE SHIPPING within the USA. Period. =)
Custom and personalized orders
We gladly do custom orders! Our turn around varies, do consult.
And, we're very happy to provide cover mock ups free of charge. Just click "Ask a question" or "Request a custom item" from any listing and let us know what you have in mind.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk discount prices?
Of course! We're happy to offer wholesale or bulk order discounts. Just let us know what you're interested in.
Will I see my book's cover before you create my custom order?
Of course! We don't complete custom orders until we get the go ahead from you. I try to get cover mock ups to folks in less than 48 hours. Just click "Ask a question" or "Request a custom item" from any listing and let us know what you have in mind. Or at check out, include your ideas in the "Notes" area. Be sure to check your Etsy messages, we'll be in touch very soon!
What are your business hours?
We're self employed, we work all the time! (But we do take random Tuesday afternoons off, just because.) I try to answer all emails in less than 48 hours. For the most part we work Monday to Friday, 8-6 EST. I do tend to check in with folks over the weekend, though, too. We're always glad you were in touch, and we try to answer as soon as humanly possible, but I do have to turn that darn phone off every so often or I'll lose my mind (and drive my children absolutely nuts).
Where are you located anyways?
We're physically located in the sierras of Córdoba, Argentina (although I'm from Oregon originally). We ship to our US distributor in Oregon every week so you only pay shipping from there. Read more about the amazing Transient Books experience on our About Us Page.
What's your current turn around time for custom orders?
Our turn around varies! It depends on where you catch us in the cycle. We're physically located in the sierras of Córdoba, Argentina (although I'm from Oregon originally). We ship regularly to our US distributor in Oregon so you only pay shipping from there. Be in touch and I'll let you know when you can expect to receive a custom order. Sometimes the wait can be as little as 7 days, but a usual turn around is about 12 days, from your first email to the actual delivery to your door.
It's also worth keeping in mind that our turn around time is influenced by the wonder of hand crafting all items from start to finish according to your specifications.
Items found in our Gift Shop (in stock, ready to go) ship within 2 business days.
Does Transient Books accept BITCOIN?
Yes we do! At check out, just choose OTHER for the payment method and we'll take it from there.
Does Transient Books have an Environmental Commitment Policy?
Of course we do. Here at Transient Books, we love what we do, and we love the planet that makes it possible. We are committed to lowering our impact and hand crafting a product that makes this globe a better place, without contaminating or causing damage.
