Friends and neighbors,
I'm happy to answer my own post with a solution suggested by Sam L
(Thanks, Sam!), which I implemented and posted to userscripts.org:

Enjoy,

Hi, folks,
Before I make like a developer and try to figure this out and write it
myself, I thought I'd ask if anyone has heard of a GM script that does
this:
When viewing a book preview, attach events to the left and right arrow
keys to activate the "Previous Page" and "Next Page" buttons. I took a
swing at it today, but failed, and began to wonder if someone hadn't
already solved this problem.
Script developers:
The trick seems to be to simulate a click on the button link element,
such as this, the previous page button:
<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=sVsEF-EGLE4C&pg=PT884&lpg=PP1&dq=david+brin+earth
" onclick="_OC_EmptyFunc(this.href); return false;">
<div class="pagination">
<div id="prev_btn" alt="Previous Page" title="Previous Page"
class="SPRITE_pagination_v2_left" style="cursor: pointer; "></div>
</div>
</a>
I tried executing
_OC_EmptyFunc
(document.getElementById('prev_btn').parentNode.parentNode.href),
but that did nothing: it really is an empty function, as
advertised :-). It
is hard to figure out exactly what is happening when that link is
clicked.
It is easy enough to make the left arrow key set
location
.href=document.getElementById('prev_btn').parentNode.parentNode.href
but that loads the entire browser page (although showing the correct
book page), losing whatever page-size settings you have made.
