Place paper items inside along with scrunched up balls of newspaper, enough to full the box. Put lid on box and leave for 24 hours. When you take the items out again they may smell strongly of newspaper but that will fade and the smell of mould will be gone for good. So long as you keep them clean and dry they should be cured. No idea why, but it works. Not sure it will work with a book though - the individual pages might not get enough exposure - but you could try putting them in with the pages fanned out and see.
