That has more to do with the aerodynamic properties of the book and the fact that the turbulence that forms on top of the book would force the paper to lie flat against the surface of the book.
In fact it was a bad example, but the only one i could come up with at noon.

Well, just remember the hammer and the feather experience done in space.
