No where to my knowledge. I took some pictures of the pages and posted them on Discord. But because of Discord's recent hotlink prevention changes this year, they won't show up outside of Discord. So here's a link to the start of the pictures.

I don't have any intentions of cutting the pages out to scan them, so this is the best I can do for now.

That's still really helpful! Thank you 😄

Edit: Weirdly enough, even when I login with Discord I see nothing 🤔
