When I say expensive and elaborate, I'm not necessarily thinking of parchment and ink.
I'm thinking more of reactivating the tannic acid through a wooden cover that isn't there, but explains the wormholes, and only on the cover side, just to give the first and last page a darker appearance. And that with so much moisture that it works, but does not warp the parchment that it was once stretched.
For me, it's all the little details that he must have spent so much time on, and for what? These are just a few. It's also the interplay.
Maybe it's just thin coffee or tea causing the discolouration. A real expert would have to get involved here.
