Yeah the more I look at it, the more I think staining. But still wanted some other opinions on it. Thanks for the input!

What color is that "staining"?

Looks like the book came into contact with some dirty water...

More of a brown I’d say.

From everything I have read "Foxing" is a Reddish color, hence the name, so, may just be dirt.

I always use it as a technical term for "paper aging", which is typically uniform in effected areas.

Yeah. Here’s a good comparison. Now that I compare it, I’m no longer worried unless anyone sees something I’m missing.
