A book for keeping financial records. I used to work in a bank; some of the 
"books" were sets of card kept in a box for easy access; the cards were 
inserted into a machine (loosely like a typewriter) to record on. Some 
low-activity accounts, typically loan accounts, were actually bound books 
(which you could take apart to add/remove pages) and were updated with pen and 
ink.

Records of any kind of bank account; check, savings, loan were kept in a 
ledger.
