Thanks again.
Printed at FedEx Office (nee Kinko's), 8.5x11 paper, double sided so it opens like a regular Jepp style logbook. Had them drill it for...

The "Ledger Binder" which one can get at a good office supply store (they don't seem to know what one is at Office Max/Depot/Staples - at least didn't five years ago when I was asking). These are the types of binders used at banks and businesses for checks. Has a hard cover, looks sharp, and it's free to add pages to! Note they have them with ring binder style and pins. I personally like the pins much better - it gives the appearance of a bound volume.

I too received compliments on it everywhere I interviewed (regional, ACMI, and Emirates). As far as I can tell interviewers love the e-logs, I always have my originals, but no one has ever wanted to see them - even when offered.

Another suggestion for anyone who hasn't hear me say this before: Make scans of endorsements and check rides from you original and include them in the bound e-log, then email the e-log backup and the scans to a hotmail or other account and just let them sit there on the server (or store them on Google drive or some other free cloud). You now have offsite backup for your logs if (heaven forbid) for some reason you ever lose your originals.
