Im actually more proud of this thing than I should be. The one that came with my plane had its first entry in 1882 when it came to Canada. In the interests of preserving the data in there, I retired it and replaced it with this one. The book is of a high quality. The pages are thick, and the hard cover feels like it can take some abuse and go many years. The pages look to be bound very well. It contains the pertinent law about documentation required in the log inside as a handy reference. It has cut down on documenting non essential items and includes a hobs time which I like. It also has a spot at the bottom of each page couple for tracking up coming Maintenence. This should last another 36 years!
