Borrow one of the packets from a friend, sit down at a scanner and scan all the pages into a .pdf file.

I know people who do this with their D&D books, and have hinted at doing the same for college textbooks, particularly a quite infamous textbook for the public speaking class at my alma mater custom written by the professor who teaches the class. BTW, this public speaking class is required for graduation. He revisies it every year so he can get away with not putting it in the textbook rental program. (UW-SP has a textbook rental program where students just rent their textbooks for most classes in exchange for a small fee included in thier tuition.) UWSP's student government and this professor have been fighting for years over the textbook issue.
