Here's what I got so far:
Warning: spoilers so only go if you're stuck:
The page numbers themselves:
Initially, it appeared that he was using base 3 to count each page, but there were significant breaks in what should have been the page numbers. It appears that He follows the base three naming sequence, but will only let a single 2 be in each page number and it cannot be followed anywhere in the rest of the number by a 1. All numbers in the sequence not following this rule cannot be found. It just skips to the next number that satisfies the condition.
End of Introduction:

simple substitution using the numerical values of the letters of the alphabet.
the only confusing part of a couple seconds was there looked like a space between the 8 5 and 18 5 groups.

Unfinished because it doesn't all make sense but appears to be a substitution.

I'm thinking "just" for the first word, "here" for the second but those double e's are really confusing the heck out of me.

It's a sentence that you have to map your way around starting in the top left corner:
10020CODE256BITAESW/KEYIN8PARTS. or:
10020 CODE 256 BIT AES W/ KEY IN 8 PARTS. or:
page 10020 has a 256 bit AES code whose key is in eight parts.

no science. When it comes to love, we're all in the dark. --Kinsey
This one was difficult since he was using substitutions between not only letters but also for grammatical signs like periods, apostrophes, etc. He also used a different symbol for a capitalized "W" as opposed to a lowercase "w".

can't type this one up since it's all just dots but it's all just braille.
It takes more than you
expect but less than you fear!

page says 3 of 8-no idea but I translated the four binary numbers into decimal and hex:
1101 1010=218=0xDA
0001 0000=16=0x10
0001 1100=28=0x1C
1011 1100=188=0xBC

Page 10101:
A series of dancing men is shown, I was able to recall from back when I read the Complete Sherlock Holmes. There was a story where various stick men were in various positions and a guy holding a flag denoted a space in the words. Here it was easier because he gave us spaces built in. I then assigned a random letter to each different pose of the dancing men and understanding that I might have gotten the letters correct, did my normal procedure for solving a cryptogram.
It says:
Started with four letters but only need
three what a riddle what a mystery
