It appears that Javant's zine "Taboo Jadoo"
can be printed or downloaded from here.
My invented language Glaugnea's grammar
(with a lipogrammatic introductory essay)
is in #4.

"...I've made more money at this [lipogram] than from
all of the plays I've written." --Mark Dunn

A musical progressive lipogram.

Tribute to Perec.

“His lab’ring heart with sudden rapture seized
He paus’d, and on the ground in silence gazed.
Unskill’d and uninspired he seems to stand,
Nor lifts the eye, nor graceful moves the hand:
Then, while the chiefs in still attention hung,
Pours the full tide of eloquence along;
While from his lips the melting torrent flows,
Soft as the fleeces of descending snows.
Now stronger notes engage the listening crowd,
Louder the accents rise, and yet more loud,
Like thunders rolling from a distant cloud.”
Merrick’s “Tryphiodorus,” 148, 99. [cited here--
this is T.'s "Destruction of Troy, Being A
Sequel to the Iliad", i think.]

Byron (xxi.) rhymes Tryphiodorus with "storehouse".
