My copy is from 1996 and it too has the pages that you mention - not missing, but with text printed on them. Perhaps there was no "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll" in those days eh? Perhaps Hazel can enlighten us all, but I suspect that the censors have been at work! And perhaps Hazel can post the missing text to this Forum. We won't tell anyone. :-) ooroo That apart, it's a mighty informative and warmly written book. The author, who is our member - though she hasn't posted anything of late -, deserves congratulations.
