Hi, my site has quite a few yearbook collections which I would like to upload as a compound object and then be able to view in book format, similar to ContentDM, which you can view here:
http://content.library.ccsu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/csupubs&CISOPTR=4776&REC=1
Actually, a book reader feature which mimics turning a page would be even better. Is there any chance this might be a new feature?
If you have the files in a single document format, you could use the Docs Viewer plugin.

Or, if you want to keep the files separate and write some code, you could create your own viewer using a simple "lightbox" script. ( for example, like the one on this page: http://www.ohiocivilwar150.org/omeka/items/show/1754 ) A page flip script would probably be deployed in more or less the same way. Both would require some PHP, HTML/CSS and Javascript skills, but not a ton.
