English term or phrase: transferable only on the books of
Hi, could you explain what means "transferable only on the books of", the whole sentence looks like this: "Stock transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holder hereof in person or by Attorney"
I can't get the meaning of "on the books of" here... thanks.

Selected answer:transferable only in the written records of
Explanation:
Some stocks are "book-entry", which means that they are not represented by bits of paper, but only by entries in a stock registry book. Thus the only way of transferring them is by entries in the book. I think this is what the term refers to.
