Log Books

Do most sailors not use log books anymore?
Reason I ask this question is the apparent lack of selection.
I had some log books from many years ago that I used on my last 2 boats and I am looking for same for my new purchase.

Watch Log: people could sign in/out...record heading, weather, speed, etc. Also was a good device for a checklist (barometer reading, fuel level, radio check,etc.) when coming on duty.

Captain's Log: obvious purpose

Ship's Log: maintenance schedule, recording of new installations, boat history.

Sometimes combined the Captain's Log and Ship's Log but like to keep the Cap'ns Log for memories while transferred Ship's Log at time of sale.

Anyone have suggestions... sources? (Chapman's is not my favorite; WEEMS and PLATH is generally not big enough for a daily log on a 3 month cruise).

Am I just too old fashioned?
