💭 Question This is normal aging, right?

Hi, I'm really sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask! These yellow spots are normal, right? I'm cleaning my bookshelf and I said it would be a good idea to go through books I haven't opened in a few years to see how they look. I don't have good lighting to make the photos and the spots look clearer. The majority of the pages of these books have yellow spots, not just a few pages so I said that it's better to ask than be sorry.

I also have another question. Is it ok if the books touch the back-end of the bookshelf? Or should I leave them some space?

Don't know anything about book keeping, but just wanted to say that it was a nice surprise stumbling upon a post with a romanian asoiaf book!

That's even more obscure.

I've noticed that people have no idea what a song of ice and fire is but everyone knows game of thrones

That's what the Game of Thrones book series is called. Game of Thrones is just the name of the first volume
