foxing



Title: foxing

I have just received a hand printed book on hand made paper which has evidence of foxing. We have another edition of the same book in the collection here which is still in mint condition.

What causes foxing? Will the book with foxing deteriorate further? Should it be kept separate from other items in the collection?

Thanks for any insights.

Paul.
