I've never heard this phrase.
I've heard "this is one for the record books" and various phrases implying you're being kept track of in a ledger or on a list of people to kill, but I've never heard this phrase.

Or into the Guinness book of world records.
If that "something" was a financial transaction in the age before the computer, the sale (or the bet if you were a Recency beau and belonged to a gentleman's club) would be entered into journals, registers, and account books (or the club's betting book).
