Narrative:

During preflight, the first officer and I both thought each other had checked logbook. No maintenance issues involved customer service. Wanted early push and we hurried our preflight. 1 MEL with flight restr reviewed. Never had this happened before -- just overlooked the fact I did not see the logbook myself discovered in cruise flight. Obtained temporary log on next leg.
