I like to use the sketch books with the wire binding so that I can keep it open all the way.

For kids, I found that the 3 x 5 wire bound cards from Wal-Mart were a good purchase at about $1. It allowed a spot for my kids to stamp on a blank area and then have the lined card to write about the stamp. (FYI - the neon colored cards have too much color and don't accept ink very well.) Some of the covers of these are really pretty. They're also quite small and easy for kids to use.

I found great small journals with unlined paper at Joann's Fabrics for $1 each! They have made adorable logbooks! I wish I had bought more...I get nervous I won't be able to find them again!

I do weird things in the logbook department. I stamp a stamp 2, 3, 4 times then when I get home I put them in my Main logbook. Which I designed and ordered from Cafe Press. It has our personal stamps on the front and it says "Our Letterboxing Journal"

Then I also have the photo books of vacations that envolved letterboxing. We did a "Men vs Women" letterbox trip with some of our friends once. (for those who must know the Men won) anyway the photo book is a treasure to me. But I leave all of these at home so they won't get lost or stepped on.
I just cut and glue the stamp into my main book. The reason I stamp so many, is you may find my stamp in my photobook also. That way if a stamp does not stamp clear. I have the chance to restamp and put the better one in my main book.

We started with small 4x6 sketchbooks. When those were filled up, I removed the pages and put each person's stamps into a small photo album.

We now use hand-made (codex) log books. I made each of us one with a cover that matches our sig stamps in some way (ex: my littlest one, HorseLover, has horses on the cover of her log). Ours are approx 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (the size of a normal sheet of paper folded in half). The pages are made of white cardstock, which is perfect for stamping on both sides.
Oh! and each one has a ribbon in the binding so that we can mark the page that were on.

The moleskine books are nice, too. I bought a small 3 pack for planting and postals. Very nice quality. I even cut them in half and got 6 books for the price of 3!
