When I'm feeling industrious, I cut out paper in the shape of the paragraph that needs to
be replaced, write the errata on that piece of paper, and carefully tape it into the book
at the proper place. It is usually best to use the tape that can be pulled up again
without damaging the paper. It works quite well, and if you get paper that is a similar
color to the book page, it looks pretty good as well. Only problem is it takes time. :-)
