Looks fine to me - I really did design it to be as quick and simple as
possible, so it's nice to see it scrubbed up for something more ambitious!
Perhaps if the pages were to fan out more when the book is inverted the
animation would look much more realistic?

Looks good. Maybe you'll do variations on it.

Wow. I have been looking for code for a single book (a project for someone
else)
and did not know that Sir Colefax had rendered unto us such.

p.s. I always enjoy reading your thoughtful and detailed comments.
     Oh, it is way late. I gotta get over here (p.b.a) more often.

And maybe not.  Well, then again, I really should try the page fluttering as
someone had suggested anyway.  Then it might seem complete.
