Funny, I am working on a similar project.
In the end I jumped in at the deep end and built it in a 3d app.

My first test was however just rotate a flat plane pre comp filled with the pages artwork and using a null on the edge of the plane, apply freeform or a warp to create the turn/page bending.
In the pages precomp you can sequence the pages to match the speed of the turns, dupe the one page to get the back of the page and do similar.
Now precomp this one page turn and stack as many as you want. The sequences/artwork comp should fill the pages up.

That might do the trick.

Do one as precomp, dupe it 74 times, and opt / alt drag the new pages to replace the ones that are already set up to do the gag. Would that work for you?

Yes, it works but this is the process I'm trying to avoid - it's literally about 75 page turns… don't ask.

Is this a possibility? –

Use the Pan Behind tool to move the anchor point to one edge of your page. Rotate on the Y axis to almost 90 degrees. Do the same with the next page but start from just shy of -90 degrees. (or maybe it's the other way around: rotate to -90, start from just before 90) Anyway, cut between the two. This works if, as you say, the page doesn't need to bend, I would think.
