Now, this is a BIG no, no. I got this book from a major dealer with no mention of it.  I noticed a slight water ripple with no stain to the cover. When I opened it, I saw this. Back it went…

For me foxing is on a case by case basis, usually I’m far more concerned with tanning/brittleness/splitting and moisture/rust stains. Like 👍

This, almost word for word (I have decent tolerance for spine splits when it gives me a book that presents several points higher than the technical grade.)

Light foxing, I generally don’t mind.  As long as it’s actually foxing, I’ve seen other stains or mold inaccurately called foxing frequently.

Miscuts are generally OK, provided they aren't too glaring. That Australian Classic Comics series I showed above are frequently miscut, like this one:

I have seen miracles performed on fine art prints with regard to mold type discolorations.
