I'm not convinced that the same thing is happening here. If you look at the aftermath, it seems that the press has curved a hole through the book. The "explosion" seems to be the aftershock of the press hitting the table with force after forcing itself through the book.

You make a good point and I think it's both things, actually. 1) The bonds in the paper fracture 2) The elastic energy in the press causes the cylinder to drive downward, splattering the malformed paper in all directions 3) Which makes room for the cylinder to make it most of the way through the book.
