I use a rubber finger on my index and a rubber thumb. That stops quite a few problems. Paul's method of fixing the spine solves a few more. Another thing is to go through the book in a sort of trial run, flipping the pages but not PRing them, just to get a feel for going through the pages at a PR speed to get your hands warmed up.
If pages stick I simply start flipping backwards a few pages until I recognize a familiar pattern through the blip, and go forward from there. eg. p 68, 74 (stick), I go back 72, 70, 68, 70, recognize 70's overall pattern, affirm it, 72, affirm, 74, affirm, etc. That way I'm into the text instead of worrying over techniques.
Remember Paul said to relax and have fun
