BOLT2 jacket

I just bought a copy of BOLT2 and the book is in great condition, the jacket is in good condition but has a lot of tanning to the under side. Can anyone explain the greenish color to the gold lettering? thanks

It is a very common problem with BoLT 2. I have seen more copies where the gold effect has oxidised than not. Seems to be a problem that does not affect any of the other volumes.

Very interesting that it only affects BOLT2, thanks Stu. I was hoping that it was common, but its a shame because it kinda messes up the flow of the series...
