Animate page numbers in books, by converting them into
a bouncing ball, flick book sequence. (note this is the
second part of the earlier idea in the link)
Pulp fiction style detective novels could get a film noir
style flickering neon, or smoking gun sequence
incorporating the changing page
numbers.
With the average book running to 250 pages, a ten
second movie sequence could also be created by those
dexterous enough to get the page edges to flick over at
24 frames per second.

[Psst, xenzag... make that two 5-second sequences. 250 pages only have 125 right or left sides on top of each other, no?] |

Is there still going to be a page number in that page number? How do you deal with the sudden jump from e.g. "7" to "8"? The digits would just be a flickering gray spot--? |
|

The devil in the details... but that makes it even better, because you can play (as you correctly suggest) a different sequence by turning the book face down, and feathering it from back to the front. |

The numbers would of course be mostly illegible at any kind of meaningful speed, so the main part of the idea is the animation. |

Make it a bomb and the numbers can be a timer.
The unnumbered pages at the start could be the explosion.
Yes, you'd need to flick it from the back to the front. |

The monks doing pictorial capital letters would be proud.
I don't think you should do a bottom line, spoilers are bad etiquette. |
