Narrative:

Preflight was normal. Logbooks and aircraft had no deferred or MEL maintenance items. Dispatch release agreed with condition of aircraft and logbooks. Dispatch release was the correct time/date and aircraft. No problems noted. Fuel slip checked using fuel from logbook of inbound flight plus fuel loaded at sfo. Slight difference due to APU fuel burn. All checks were done in accordance with company sopa/smac procedures. Our aircraft was the only B757 in sfo at the time of our departure. Logbooks were on board aircraft upon our arrival at aircraft. Upon our arrival at dtw a mechanic came to the cockpit with 2 logbooks. We had the logbooks on board for ship abdd. We were in ship abcd. They apparently had been put in the wrong aircraft inadvertently by maintenance during nightly turn. Supplemental information from acn 314650: when fuel slip came up, I checked the arrival fuel as recorded in logbook for last previous flight with fuelers record. There was a 400 pound discrepancy in left tank and only a 200 pound in right tank. I attributed left error to APU burn. Right error to gauge error. (I have seen much greater discrepancies.)
