Browning
Either one of a pair of married English poets, or what happens to wood pulp paper when the acids start to burn through it. This usually results in the paper becoming both darker and increasingly brittle. Also referred to as yellowing, depending on which glasses we are wearing. James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific was printed on cheap war-time paper and the edges of the text brown over time, as shown on this copy from our Catalog 90 (browning exaggerated by us, of course).more
