Aircraft logbook hardcover

Anyone know where to buy a good solid, large size(about A4) hard cover aircraft frame logbook that will stand the test of time. Amazon have small propeller and engine logs. I have a great one for my glider, about 10"x81/2" approximately 3/4" thick. Bit of overkill but very good. I don't know the pedigree as it came with the airplane from 1977. I plan on three logs, and as the airframe log will be with the airplane for its entire life I think it should be solid in construction with plenty of pages. Thanks in advance.
 
Most older airplanes I've dealt with have more than one airframe logbook and most of them have been fairly cheap quality - and not enough pages for more than 15-20 years.

Lots of online sites like Levenger sell personal journals, some even with leather covers - that might be a way to get a better quality logbook to start. These can be embossed as well.
 
One option is to use the best quality standard 3-ring binder for Office Depot or equivalent, and use these logbooks from Spruce -

Matching Engine, Prop and Avionics logbooks (or, to use the FAA terminology, "Maintenance Records") are available.

The 3-ring binder will simply hold them together in one place, but still allow major changes, such as a future propeller swap. Other sheets, such as FAA documents can be added as single items.
