Reminds me of when I was working at Amstrad, and the sign-in book was
available for anyone to see. One evening in 1985 it contained an entry
for "Sir Clive Sinclair" and a few days later Alan Sugar bought the
remains of Sinclair Research...
Meanwhile, many organisations I visit have sign-in books where there are
overlapping tear-off strips which double as visitors passes. The books
keep a carbon-copy, but it's hidden from view.
