Can foil books be pressed without damaging them?

Can a book like this be pressed? It's an SDCC convention foil variant of WW 26. It's not raised, like Silver Surfer 50, but it is shiny and seems like a different material than normal comics. I have a copy that has about 4 non-color-breaking stress lines on front and back that I believe a press could remove entirely, but I don't want to damage the book if it's not appropriate for pressing. 

And yes, I am thinking about this in context of the Gal Gadot signing coming up :-)

Good morning,

Thanks for your message. If the book's cover is entirely foil, unfortunately we cannot press it. If the outside cover is foil while the interior cover is paper stock, we are able to press it. The foil covers that can be pressed have certain limitations due to the raised surface of the cover. In some cases, bends are too deep or large to be effectively removed because of these limitations.

If in doubt, please utilize the CCS screening service to determine if your foil cover is a good candidate for pressing.

Thank you!
