Folks, you're making this far more comlicated than it really is:
1) Bound book: Follow the guidelines in 27 CFR 478.121 and 478.125. That INCLUDES the use of a book permanently bound, a three ring binder with numbered pages or any method that produces "an orderly arrangement of loose-leaf pages". The concept is not that difficult to grasp.
2) Format: Use the columnar format listed in § 478.125 using numbered pages. If you purchase a commercially available book, make sure it matches the format. You can set it up in Excel and print pages. Heck you can make a page with a pencil and ruler and make copies if you like as long as it follows the FORMAT!
If you plan to use a different format, get prior approval:
"A licensed dealer or licensed collector who proposes to use alternate records shall submit a letter application, in duplicate, to the Director of Industry Operations and shall describe the proposed alternate records and the need therefor. Such alternate records shall not be employed by the licensed dealer or licensed collector until approval in such regard is received from the Director of Industry Operations".
Like the bound book, the right format is not a difficult concept. Below is the proper format to use.
