Very nice! It was silly for me to presume you didn't have a copy somewhere, I was mostly giddy to have a copy at all, and wanted to share. Good choice of reading material.
Hello. I got my copy of Penguin Rules from ‘Jan Tschichold: A Life in Typography’ by Ruari McLean. They are also printed in ‘Jan Tschichold: Typographer’ by the same author.
My school has a scanner, and I've scanned that individual page. Mail me: kaa@disroot.org, and I'll reply with a copy of the page. 400 DPI, 4.8MB.

The only digital copy of the book I've got the reproduction in seems to be stuck in the purgatory of Google Books. The reproduction is on page 274. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Jan_Tschichold_Master_Typographer/7aUOAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Wide%20spaces%20should%20be%20strictly%20avoided

Google Books makes me a little sad.

It seems like you're having some trouble. If you're in the US, call 988. https://www.fcc.gov/988-suicide-and-crisis-lifeline
