Is this black mold?

I opened up some of my old textbooks and the pages were covered in black flaky stuff. I have no idea what it is.

    Mildew....same thing as mold but gets a new name on organic surfaces. Does it smell like mildew? Another thought is bug feces. there are beetles that just love the glue in book bindings. Could it be ink flaking off?
