Narrative:

I was the first officer on flight arn to ord. I arrived at aircraft and accomplished the origination preflight. When I finished my walkaround inspection a mechanic was in the jet bridge finishing up the logbook. At departure I was not aware of any open items in the aircraft log. The flight proceeded normally to destination. Upon arrival in chicago several items were entered into the logbook and maintenance was notified of these items as required. Supplemental information from acn 319642: I was captain on flight. Maintenance brought logbook to aircraft shortly before departure. We briefly discussed corrective action on fuel pump write-up and the deferred cabin video write-up. Reviewed logbook per procedures. No open items noted. Supplemental information from acn 319646: on flight ab on oct/sat/95 I reviewed the logbook. The aircraft had just come in with 2 write-ups both of which had been taken care of by ord. I initialized the book and left. Near lax a flight attendant gave me some write-ups. When I went to put these into the next page of the book following the write-ups on oct/sat/95, I found 2 non-airworthiness items that had been entered in the next book on oct/sat/95 not cleared. Flight AC on oct/sat/95 had 3 write-ups on page 3716737, page number 3716738 was void by maintenance, page 3716738 had flight xy, page number 3716781 had 2 write-ups from flight xz on oct/fri/95. I missed the 2 items because of them being in another set of pages. Supplemental information from acn 319647: during flight en route to lax, the cabin attendant discovered open logbook entries from previous flts to and from ord-arn-ord that were entered out of sequence and into the next pad of E-6 entries. The items were entered such that no inbound signature followed. Also, I did not recall any of the out of sequence entries appearing in the decs KVA1 entries prior to flight. The errors were reported to lax maintenance upon arrival for logbook number correction, corrective action to those open entries, and renumbering and sequencing of the E-6 logbook. I did not catch these entries upon review at the beginning of flight, as it appeared that the E-6 was properly signed off and all open items were signed off. From now on, I will check the E-6 from back to front first, to preclude recurrence.
