Apparently, not only did the white edition of the script (with more deleted scenes) sell out quickly, there were three versions of it, each with different deleted scenes! Neil Gaiman has said that the publisher was responsible for that; he himself was expecting all the deleted scenes to be in all print runs.
However, if you search around the various tumblr fan sites for Good Omens, you can find all the deleted scenes posted, generally as photos of the pages.

I don't know whether I will or not. I have found screengrabs of some of them online, possibly all of them. If i see it in the store, I may look for any I may not recognize.

No reason - just because! :)

"The Good Omens Book Song"
(to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from "Mary Poppins")

Pound diddle diddle diddle Pound diddle aye
Pound diddle diddle diddle Pound diddle aye
Super fancy illustrated version of Good Omen(s)
If you buy Ineffable, you're really quite a showman,
They will even give you life-size statue - Bard the Bowman;
Super fancy illustrated version of Good Omen!(s)

Pound diddle diddle diddle sell diddle aye
Pound diddle diddle diddle sell diddle aye
It's really quite expensive - well, to me it breaks the bank
I hope that's not offensive to you, I'm just being frank
But for a price like six thou pounds, I'd just as well go broke
And as for my bank manager - I think he'd have a stroke!

It's ...
Super fancy illustrated version of Good Omens
It's the latest thing since Julius Caesar and the Romans
If you buy it, please don't hit someone in the abdomen(s)
Super fancy illustrated version of Good Omens!

Pound diddle diddle diddle sell diddle aye ...

[continue ad lib, fill in the rest as it pleases you] ;)
