Article 12 - (370 - 436) REGISTERING TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY
395 - Title book.

 
    §  395.  Title  book.  The  registrar shall keep a book or books to be
  known respectively as the "title book", wherein he shall enter all first
  and subsequent "original" certificates of title by binding or  recording
  them  therein,  with  appropriate  blanks for the entry of memorials and
  notations prescribed by this article. Said book shall be  of  about  the
  size of the conveyance libers, now used in county clerks' and registers'
  offices. Each certificate shall constitute a separate leaf of such book.
  About two inches of each leaf on the binding edge shall be kept blank on
  both sides, to facilitate rebinding. At such times as may be proper, the
  registrar  may  rebind  the  certificates in new volumes or title books,
  containing respectively  cancelled  and  uncancelled  certificates.  All
  memorials and notations, that may be entered in the title book under the
  terms  of  this article, shall be entered upon the leaf constituting the
  last certificate of title of the property to which they relate.  In  the
  county  of  Suffolk,  if a microfilm system for retrieval and display of
  the title certificates is used, libers may be stored in a  location  not
  accessible  to  the  public. Whenever the term "certificate of title" is
  used in this article it shall be deemed as including  all  memorials  or
  notations thereupon noted.
