Regarding Bob Brooks post on FOXING:
This is absolutely correct, so giving your posters a sunbath wouldnot help them - even briefly. UV might affect mold, but there are better way to deal with mold as well.
Thanks, Bob......

Foxing (from Ferric OXide) is the effect on certain papers of the oxidation of iron or other substances in the pulpor rag from which the paper was made. It is responsible for the spots and browning seen on old books, documents, postage stamps, and so forth. While unsightly, and a negative factor in the value of the paper item for collectors, foxing does not affect the integrity of the paper. There is a product called FOXIT to remove foxing. Cheers,
Bob

My understanding of foxing is the same as Michael's - age spots and browning, many times, but not exclusively, in the corners. The term is quite common among book dealers when describing rare books.
