record book
Where records live
A record book is a register where notable achievements or statistics are kept: She's in the record book for fastest marathon time.
The phrase often appears figuratively to emphasize something unprecedented or extreme: temperatures for the record books, a meltdown for the record books.
To be one for the record books is to be remarkably memorable.
