Pretty funny, eh?
Still have them around here someplace.
I recently used adobe scan on my iphone to do it the modern way.
Yes, it was a pain, but less of a pain than losing the logs!

There's really no excuse not to have an electronic backup of your logs. Even doing it yourself with your cell phone is better than nothing!
If you have a scanner, "Scan to PDF" is what you want to do. Then combine all the engine log scans into one PDF, all the airframe scans into one PDF...you get the idea. You may glad you did one day.
Back in the days of Wilbur and Orville, the rogue A&P would hold your logs hostage until you paid his inflated bill. With electronic copies, the rogue A&P never gets your original logs.
The good and virtuous A&P's working on our airplanes will give us a sticker to put in the logbook when we get back to our personal Fort Knox where we keep the Originals.
