Narrative:
This was a reposition flight for an aircraft that had been in storage. The mechanic made a last minute placard of the APU door status message. The problem reset properly; but the placard was left in the book to expedite our departure. I have been advised that there was not a mechanic's signature or employee number on the balancing logbook entry.the nature of these ferry flights and the lack of organization makes it easy [to] miss this kind of detail. Probably should have ZZZ1 tech pilots operate these flights because they operate so far from normal operations.
