I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'does this contain records suitable' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lumber camp?' is the wordplay.
'lumber' becomes 'log' (synonyms).
'camp?' becomes 'book' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'log'+'book'='LOGBOOK'

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for logbook that I've seen before include "Car owner's document" , "official record" , "Incident-recording volume" , "Registration paper" , "Former vehicle document" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
