Books will have "calibre:user_metadata" (and the available options for each custom fields) but with empty values.
Non custom columns will have their values intact.
Not a pretty solution but an effective one to hide the values on each book to give to others.

That is not quite true: Calibre will ASK if you wish to ADD those columns. You can decline

I don't remember if this persists on every time you transfer IF, you decline. (all my Libraries that I do this , match columns (lookup names)
