Brenda, I forwarded your message to Jesse.
The only way I know for a book in the collection to be
fixed, i.e., to have missing pages put in, is for a
member such as you to download the book, as you have,
scan in and validate the missing pages, and then
submit it with a note that it's a replacement copy for
the book with the missing pages.
