A Solander Box is a protective box with a lid that entirely encloses the book, and is named after its inventor, the Swedish botanist D. C. Solander (1736–1782).
The Chelsea Bindery specialises in fine binding, preservation boxes and book restoration. These boxes provide an important extra layer of protection from sunlight, moisture, dust, and insects.
In this short video, Adam Douglas explains some of the details and design features of Solander Boxes.
