I think the C&N book has appendixes on line as well. They don't use that old pinned joint anymore. It was a great joint for sure but what a PIA. My guess is most people who followed that book didn't use that joint. Sloans book has a 12-string chapter in it too and in fact what I went off of when I built one years ago. Basically it's just a beefed up 6-string bracing scheme.
C&N is pretty much the standard volume for anyone getting into this craft. With that and online resources you should be able to pull it off.
