I have compiled the missing pages (that I'm aware of so far) into a PDF using the pages from the Genii archive.
If you have the book, you have everything you need to view the PDF.

Received my copy. It is wonderful. I really appreciate the decision to collect excellent online material and put it in print form.

"Shenanigans" was also the name of my one-man parlor show that played for over 2 years in Atlanta (Buckhead). It's a word I don't see often, so it caught my attention!
