previous/past infestation with booklice
Pentru toată sintagma aş propune "binding and pages showing signs of past infestation with booklice" - sper că din "past" se poate deduce că infestarea nu a progresat, mai ales dacă se corelează cu starea bună de conservare descrisă anterior. Iar "booklice" este, cred, la fel de non-specific pe cât sunt şi "carii" din română, fiindcă nu se indică vreo specie anume.

Din fericire, speculaţii folosite fără reţineri de secţia de conservare de la Bodleiană, unde am făcut un curs de codicologie :)))

: N-are nicio importanta ce fel de ganganie e. Small-scale infestation? Non-invasive? Non-progressive? Cred ca un calificativ se cere.

self-limiting infestation of beetles/booklice
In science and medicine, the term "self-limiting" is the most commonly used for infestations/viruses/decay etc. It would be rather clumsy to use "unprogressive" or "non progressive" in this context - if the term was intended to be grammatically correct.

"Self-limiting
In biology, a self-limiting organism or colony of organisms limits its own growth by its actions. For example, a single organism may have a maximum size determined by genetics, or a colony of organisms may release waste which is ultimately toxic to the colony once it exceeds a certain population. In some cases, the self-limiting nature of a colony may be advantageous, such as in the case of parasites. If their numbers became too high, they would kill the host, and thus themselves."

There could be a possibility that the pests being referred to are "woodworm", which has a tendency to make its way into books and paper just as much as booklice:
"Anobium larvae will attack most wood except sound heart wood but they prefer softwood, non-tropical hardwoods and animal glue plywood. They will even develop in books when the pages are compressed, which is why the larvae are sometimes called bookworms. Books with wooden boards or compressed text-blocks provide a healthy diet for woodworm as the larvae have special yeast cells in their gut wall, which break down cellulose to digestible sugars and provide the larvae with the necessary supplement of vitamins."

If you don't like "self_limiting" you could always say:
"traces of an infestation of woodwork that did not progress"
Example sentence:
"Mites from animals do not usually survive for very long on humans, and most zoonotic infestations are SELF-LIMITING."
"...the number of reported cases of psocids is very small. All the reports that I have seen indicate that the infestation was SELF-LIMITING. My conclusion is that strawbale builders don’t need to find a grand strategy to defeat a tenacious pest,..."

: I'm not convinced about "self-limiting". That translates into Romanian as "auto-limitantă". The infestation is not spreading, but we don't know why.

"traces of an infestation that DID NOT PROGRESS"
That may be the closes to a literal translation - if self-limiting is a bit risky.
Anobiidele (carii adevăraţi) sunt coleoptere mici, cu corpul cilindric, de culoare brună, acoperit cu peri fini, uneori formând pete de culoare.
http://www.uaic.ro/uaic/bin/download/Academic/Doctorate_ianu...
Anobiidae is a family of beetles. The larvae of a number of species tend to bore into wood, earning them the name "woodworm" or "wood borer".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anobiidae
Traducerea din dicţ. online Hallo e greşită, chiar dacă am găsit definiţii mai cuprinzătoare pentru death-watch:
The term "death watch" has been applied to a variety of other ticking insects including Anobium striatum, some of the so-called booklice of the family Psocidae, and the appropriately named Atropos divinatoria and Clothilla pulsatoria.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_watch_beetle
În Dex apar 2 denumiri latineşti pentru car,. Una e anobium, care ar fi death-watch conform dicţionarului Hallo, iar pentru cealaltă am găsit engraving beetle. Ambele preferă lemnul de diferite esenţe.
