To put them on computer you would need to set up a database, with a field for each entry (name, date, etc.).  Then you could just save the database to a writable CD.  Not very hard if you are into computers and have all the hardware needed.  The hardest part about this would be the data entry, but if you put it in book form you would have to do the typing again anyway. So... if you do put it in a database on computer this way, then it is no problem to print out "reports" that you could send to a book binder/printer.  You could even just print them out and bind them yourself using one of those plastic spiral type binders. The database program I would recommend:  Microsoft Access.  If you decide to purchase a writable CD-ROM drive for your computer, make sure and get one of the new ones that allow you to use the CD just like a floppy - writing to it as many times as you want, even over old info.  These aren't too expensive - not much over $200 these days. If you have any questions, just email me personally.  I didn't know how much detail to add.
