Thanks Jaga, that's about where I got to, too.

I thought maybe somebody else had rearranged things a bit and published a new edition, but maybe they just re-arranged it themselves.

My copy has always had missing pages, incorrectly Romanised, or maybe just incorrectly transcribed names. I've never bother to go through one by one and correct all that stuff, principally because I cannot properly read Hanacaraka script, and the published script is far from clear. I'm thinking now that I might digitise my own 35mm negatives, Photoshop crops of the result, and give them to somebody in Solo to Romanise.

But it all takes time that maybe would be better spent elsewhere.
