So this is NOT a different question than "how do I transfer my > gnucash to my new computer?" which comes up here frequently.
Not entirely true, because 1. a new computer will have the default set of reports and my stand-in might (indeed preferably should) be an experience GNC user, with GNC installed and in use already. 2. I’d prefer to transfer only BookA-specific reports to the temporary keeper of BookA.gnucash, and so on. > > How do I transfer gnucash temporarily to somebody else's computer?

Again, not entirely true, because BookA’s temporary book-keeper might write his own new reports during his spell of duty, as might BookB’s and BookC’s, and these would need to be amalgamated into a single file on my recovery, perhaps all at the same time, or perhaps separately (eg if BookA’s year-end was coming up, and its bookkeeper was going to finish off the year before returning control to me).
