Abstract: On a transport path starting from a bankbook outlet from which a customer picks up a bankbook and extending into the inside of the bankbook issuing apparatus, a plurality of store units are disposed one after another. Bankbooks of several different types are stacked in the store units each reserving those of a same type. Upon request from a customer or a host computer, one of the store units in which requested bankbooks are stacked is selected. A bankbook at the lowest position in the selected store unit is then drawn therefrom to be transported on the transport path back to the bankbook outlet and to the customer.
