Nice and neat, no need to white-out numerous pages. .
Strongly agree that this is the best way to do it. Additionally, when I started realizing that I needed to clean my logbook up for interviews, I went and got a shareware logbook download (

I *think* most logbook reviews are just looking for big-time fabrication, though (I can't believe people do this, but they do, and by all reports, regularly).
