each stamp uses diffrent color ink(s) one involves colored penciles

The logbook isn't for your stamps, it is for our stamps! I prefer one logbook in the last box of a series. Anything after the box with the logbook should be a bonus. Just my thoughts.

I've got a series planned that will use the stamps I used to make an LTC alphabet series. I asked a local letterboxer what I should do; make one long series of 26 stamps, or break them up into multiple series with 4-6 stamps each? The response was to make the multiple series.

When I do this I'm certainly not going to always put the logbook in the final box of each series. Just my opinion, but I kind of want it to be a surprise. It will also be a surprise if I decide to put a clue to a bonus box in any box in each series.

Isn't it fun to play this game how each of us wants to do?

I usually have the box with the logbook be the final box, but not always. Sometimes I find a spot that I think might be better (e.g. a larger hiding spot, if I'm using a bigger box) earlier on in the series, so I'll plant it there.

I only use one logbook when I plant a series. And I almost always use black ink for the stamps in my boxes, unlike a certain pair of planters who I'll call "Team WetDirtMug" to hide their identities.
