OK:) The context is this. I like stopping by at a bookstore. I can't describe how exciting it is to pick up a book at random turn (. ).
1) over several pages of it
2) several pages of it
1) over several pages of it
2) several pages of it

Both versions fit your context.
You need to say . . .and turn . . .
Don't say 'of it'.
