yes, the acidic pages were brittle & fragile as you say & you see especially the one page with many holes.
it is kind of sad, the erasure of print from the pages, even books are not permanent, there is a certain joy in the transitory nature of life,
a song i heard once, maybe it was by Death in June, they sing: "the death of everything we love shall be a beautiful thing" & i find that irony to be true.

Kind of a wabi sabi quality:
paper thin
rip and rend
leaf leafing leafless
or
paper skin
patch and mend
sheaf sheafing sheafless
