Jarrod,
Funny that you mention book boxes. For my personal collection I have just
acquired a dozen boxes from two sources, one of which may lead to a
solution for you... one was from Vanderbilt University's library. They were
phasing out some book boxes, and I was quite happy to relieve them of the
burden of storing them.
So, have you consulted large lending libraries in your area for where they
may procure boxes for their folio volumes? Bowdoin and University of Maine
seem possible leads.
Happy hunting!

Subject: Re: who sells large book boxes
I am not sure exactly what you are looking for. Light Impressions carries
various sizes of flat storage boxes, several of which are large enough for
what you ask.
However, should you like to look further, there are a couple of suppliers
you didn't mention:
Metal Edge is great for storage products.
www.metaledgeinc.com 800-862-2228
Demco also carries flat archival boxes, and they're cheap.
www.demco.com 800-356-1200
Brodart doesn't have the best selection, but always helps to shop around.
www.brodart.com 888-820-4377
Oh, looking in my UP catalog I see these "phase boxes."
I think you may have to settle for plain flat storage boxes. If they are
too deep for your books, I recommend getting some extra archival board and
cutting it to lie under the book, raising it's top to the lid of the box;
that is, if you want to stack anything on top.
