I am fairly new to letter boxing. I have found 4 letterboxes so far.
They are all different. So here is my question...What type of log
books do you prefer?
A couple of the boxes have had homemeade logs with the paper cut and
either stapled or tied together. One had index cards with a hole
punched in each card and then tied together. I can't remember what
the other one was like.
I would really like to buy log books but I am having a hard time
finding books without lines.
Any suggestions?

For a personal log book, I have a small leather etc. brand, 160 page
bound sketch book.
As for the log books in boxs, it varies from cash register tape bound
by a book stapler to blank index cards bound by my comb binder.
I have various others made from just about every thing. I've found
many supplies at surplus stores, rolls of register tape, blank diaries
and various odd style boxes.
The best books go to the places where they are less likely to go
missing from casual lookers.
Register tape logs are for the little round containers or for the 6 oz
Lock and Lock boxes. The are made by turning the tape around a 1 foot
ruler for 10 to 12 times. Flatten the tape at both ends, remove ruler
and then fold that in half. Staple in the middle of the last fold so
that the 10 pages become 20 when finished and cut off the ends with a
paper cutter.
What ever you make, remember it will probably suffer some sort of
moisture dammage. Big logs get laminated covers with hand tinted stamp
impressions.
There is no real set design, it's what you make of it that counts.

I have found that many boxers use the 3.5x5 sketch pads by Strathmore. They are a perfect size and have 100 sheets and can be found in the art section at Michael's and other craft stores. They are about $2.,,,,,Tattoo
