Q: Does the effect icon for the Page card [X-out on a book] mean that you have to "discard all Page cards of that type from your player board?"

A: No, in this case, please discard cards equal to the number of icons drawn on them.
The wording "all" in the appendix of the rulebook does not mean "all cards of the specified type."
If there are multiple icons drawn, it means "all" the cards that correspond to all of the icons.
