Ok I know something about stored books with rust.

You got alot of responses some right some wrong but here's the thing.

It's hard to say "right/wrong" with this example. 

Rust means presents of moisture and if the moisture is still in the paper and it may...then rust will continue to migrate faster when encapsulated for obvious reasons.

There is a possibility the rust was old or from many years ago stored in an attic with moisture-and since then has been open and breathing for a bit in a cool dry environment  and the current presents of moisture is very low.

There's no way of knowing unless you owned the book since the 60's.

The presents of moisture cannot be detected by "feel" unless saturated...and believe it makes all the difference with encapsulated books.

To sum it up, if the book is not rare, it’s not worth the time or money?
