It might be interesting to widen the question to consider amateurs (like me) and professionals separately.
I've been on the local RSCM committee for about the last 15 years and there has been a significant decline over that period in the number of churches with a regular organist (and choir - but that's another discussion
)While some of it is due to a lack of organists, a greater amount is due to changing fashion as mentioned above.

It's not mentioned in HymnQuest which includes most known hymn books

Anyone wanting to see/hear/try a Hauptwerk system in a private house in Brighton (mine) are welcome to PM me.
Ditto in Gloucestershire

No mention of this on the SIOC website as I write this.

We use heavy manilla A4 envelopes. The type with a gusset which will take at least 1 or 2 inches of music.
These go in conventional filing cabinets in normal suspension folders.
Not as elegant as boxes but much cheaper and serves the purpose - protects the music, easy to store and easy to access.

I also use the fan heater approach. Placed on the floor to the side of the bench.
Not ideal but at least it stops my fingers freezing to the keys!

Interesting choice of Hymn Books
in General discussion

A & M NS. We also use our own home-produced book of about 50 worship songs/modern hymns etc. That allows us to to get a decent collection of the better stuff while avoiding the dross and - if you have a CCLI licence - can work out cheaper than buying a set of new books.
I have to say I'm rather taken with 'Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise'. Plenty of new and unusual stuff but that's no bad thing and many of the word settings are very good.
