Narrative:

Departed stl on flight with wrong aircraft logbook. Prior to departure, I had waited for maintenance to make logbook entry before reviewing aircraft history. This was done just before departure time. In the rush, I did not compare tail number with logbook. Shortly after takeoff when we realized our error.
