I have the receipts but no service book?

I bought a car that was advertised as having FHSH (full Honda service history). When I picked up the car, I was passed all the paperwork, but there was no service book. All the receipts are there for the servicing - some of which is listed as a lease car printout. Should I worry? I plan to keep for a few years, and with 86,000 miles already should I get stressed about not having the 'service book'?

If the service history receipts are complete, then no real need to worry about a service book for a car of this mileage. You might be able to buy one to include the details of future services. But I value those receipts more highly than stamps in a service book. They tell you exactly what was done and when.
