Looking for a copy of Zwischen Iser und Neisse! (Max Winter)

My copy has missing pages and I would like photocopies or scans of pages 41 to 48 and 129 to 136.

(Wonderful account, in German, of North Bohemian small glass industry, the author and journalist Max Winter believed in living with his subjects to be able to write about them, making it a poignant account of the cruel hardships endured in the glass industry at that time c.1900

For example part-time workers did 12 hours a day and full-time was 15 to 17 hours, 6 days a week. The poorest had the job of making coloured beads using silver-nitrate, and other chemicals, which they sucked up through a tube. Naturally some was ingested and as a result in time any part of their skin exposed to the sun turned black.)
