It has information about each object including the NGC description and page numbers from other references (e.g. Burnham's and others). The objects are sorted numerically by constellation and there is an index in the back of the book. Each object is in a small finder chart, 6 degrees on a side, with a Telrad circle. The back of this sheet has four pages taken from the book.

http://www.seds.org/pub/info/newsletters/sacnews/html/
The Messier Logbook is an observing tool to help observe all 110 Messier objects. The book is 188-pages and has one Messier object per page, with finder charts tht are direct view and mirror- reversed. For each object, there is information about each object including the NGC description, page numbers from other references (e.g. Burnham's and others,) and circles for drawing each object. The objects are sorted numerically by constellation and there is an index in the back that cross-references each object. On the back of this page are the cover and three pages from the book. The book is $20 plus $3 shipping and handling.
Permission is granted to copy this page (front and back) to give copies to your friends.
Also available is the book SAC's 110 Best of the NGC. This book is similar to the Messier Logbook, but it has at least two objects per page. All money raised in the sale of the SAC's 110 Best of the NGC goes to the Saguaro Astronomy Club. This book is $5 plus $4 shipping for the first book and $2 each additional book. If a copy of the Messier Logbook is purchased at the same time, shipping for the first book is also $2.
As a bonus, when you purchase a copy of the Messier Logbook and a copy of SAC's 110 Best of the NGC in the same order, you get $2 off the total price. So for each pair of books purchased it is $23 plus $5 shipping and handling. This offer is not transferable to other orders.

All rights reserved Preface It took me 18 months to observe and log all one hundred and ten objects in the Messier Catalog. I could have done it much quicker since I observed ALL the objects in only four nights. I expect this observing list will take much longer. These objects are more difficult to find, and I have already spent three nights of the Messier list on this list too. I put these charts together to help locate each object on SAC’s 110 Best of the NGC. By the time I completed them, I had already observed 11 objects. I figured why not complete the list. After I was done with the charts, I started showing it around. While all of the comments were positive, even enthusiastic, there were little things that still needed to included. After I included references to Burnham’s, Brian Skiff’s book was suggested as well as the notes from the SAC Deep-Sky Database. If you eventually read this, I’ve either said enough was enough, or I’ve even included the kitchen sink. — Paul Dickson March 10, 1996 Not surprisingly, this book makes these objects easy to find. In the course of three nights during the Fall of 1996, I observed and took notes for nearly 60 objects. I only had to take out my copy of the Herold-Bobroff Astroatlas for a handful of planetary nebulae. Of course the ease I had at finding these objects just means I’ve had a lot of experience with these charts and some really dark skies. During the 1997 Arizona Messier Marathon, I observed my remaining objects. Now I need to finish the Herschel 400 book. — Paul Dickson March 25, 1997 Page 2 110 Best of the NGC after the Messier Catalog. With this common objective, it is not surprising that there are 33 objects in common between the two lists. But the Caldwell Catalog has a Introduction slight problem with it, not all objects are visible from to the North America. In fact, only about 84 objects are visible from Arizona. After viewing the “110 Best of the NGC”, 110 Best of the NGC the Caldwell Catalog only gives you 51 additional objects to view.
