Lets not berate the man for losing his logbook (or having someone lose it for him). I only keep one, somewhere in the closet. I can recreate all the time flying for hire, as most people probably can after consulting your employers.
I disagree with ghilis101, I'd make the whole book again, best I could. With less than 1,000 hrs every bit should count to you. Your flight schools may have all your records as well. Some keep a file on every person that flies with them.
