Transcribe from journal?

[Chuckerton]

I have come into a large possession of chronicles and tomes from a certain source 

Spoiler

Resonance archives

I have read these books and theyre in my journal. Unfortunately, im still at the source ive aquired these books at, and there are more books. Ive already had to drop a great many things to carry these books but i have no more things i can afford to drop. I want these stories to be in my library at my home. I know i can transcribe from the book itself, i see the button, can i transcribe from my journal? If i can, im ditching these books and making fresh ones back home.

I wish you could

I'm the same as you, there are SO many books (and scrolls!) and I wanted to fill my library with them all. I had to make 2 trips just for the books

You can store them in those two clay vessels at the bottom entrance to the library so you don't risk losing them, and then come back on your own time to collect.

 

. .. you COULD make your own books and just manually fill them from your journal, should you wish to take the time and do that

It would be nice if we could paste text into books. For one thing, it'd mean we could compose them more carefully elsewhere before importing them into game.

Im pretty sure you can. I went to the vs wiki and for all the chronicles i found i just copied them from the wiki and pasted them into the books. I had to change some stuff with line spacing for readability but you can just ctrl+c ctrl+v into books.

We stumbled into this problem as well. Because there was a transcribe button, we assumed it meant that you could transcribe an entire book into another one. Nope, it just means you copy the current page unto a sheet of parchment.

So now our winter nights are filled with transcribing the books from

into books with colored leather we prepared beforehand - The weight of stone for example has a nice grey color, Admirer of the Miller is green for the acorn pendant, and so on. We also are building a small library where we put the tapestries and books into, once it is finished.

When we are done, we'll bring the books back into the archives (or, at least, the base before it, into a fire-proof cellar) where they belong.

We actually really feel like scribes doing it this way...although there really should be a way to do it faster.

I did the exact same color scheme. The spy and the sparrow went into a black book, nice and sinister
