Mildly interesting. The receipt that was stashed in the cover, I assume from the purchase in Jan or Jun of 96, kept the cover from being faded. (lemmy.world)

Guessing it’s the acid from the paper that was blocked

My thought was something to do with the lignins.

Wouldn't it be the tannins? Either way, the paper is reacting somehow.

No idea, not a chemist or biologist. Just read/heard about lignins, it does lend a smell from what I understand, but they’re both part of plants, so… both?
