§ 395. Title book. The registrar shall keep a book or books to be\nknown respectively as the "title book", wherein he shall enter all first\nand subsequent "original" certificates of title by binding or recording\nthem therein, with appropriate blanks for the entry of memorials and\nnotations prescribed by this article. Said book shall be of about the\nsize of the conveyance libers, now used in county clerks' and registers'\noffices. Each certificate shall constitute a separate leaf of such book.\nAbout two inches of each leaf on the binding edge shall be kept blank on\nboth sides, to facilitate rebinding. At such times as may be proper, the\nregistrar may rebind the certificates in new volumes or title books,\ncontaining respectively cancelled and uncancelled certificates. All\nmemorials and notations, that may be entered in the title book under the\nterms of this article, shall be entered upon the leaf constituting the\nlast certificate of title of the property to which they relate. In the\ncounty of Suffolk, if a microfilm system for retrieval and display of\nthe title certificates is used, libers may be stored in a location not\naccessible to the public. Whenever the term "certificate of title" is\nused in this article it shall be deemed as including all memorials or\nnotations thereupon noted.\n
