I would oblige, but first we would have to agree on (1) how those Zodiac sheets were folded before being bound into the book, and (2) whether there was BEEEP on those pages -- how much, how many rounds, and where. 

For (1) , I think some of the current folds are complicated, as if the fold had shifted a bit or even reversed over time (what was a valley fold became a crest fold or vice-versa).   Even if we go for the current fold directions, it is not clear to me which would have been the outermost pages of the sheet when folded.

All the best, --stolfi
