I haven't read it myself, but I understand that the booklet will include an extremely detailed account of the censorship of the film, written by the BBFC's in-house historian Craig Lapper with reference to documents of the time.
From what I gather, the aim is to try to create a written impression of what the original version was like - i.e. the film that almost certainly can never be reassembled, because much of the footage that was cut is assumed to have been destroyed.
