Zelco BookMate Book Stand
Keep sticky fingers away from precious pages while still being able to follow a recipe with Zelco’s metal, book stand. The clever design of this versatile stand adequately handles large cookbooks or textbooks despite its small and compact size. Constructed of thin but sturdy metal, the backboard adjusts to five different angles, while a pivoting stopper keeps pages open whether holding a 400 page cookbook or four pieces of sheet music. A felt bottom resists tabletop slipping, and when not in use, the stand folds flat for easy storage or transport. This product measures 7 by 6-3/4 by 5-3/4 inches when sitting upright at its tallest setting, and wipes clean with a damp cloth. -- Amy Arnold

I purchased this book stand at the recommendation of a physical therapist as a Christmas gift for my wife who has arthritis in her thumbs. It works better than other products she has tried.

Works pretty well
rating: 4
I wish this was a little bigger, but it works fairly well, and I'm happy I bought it. One thing, when you are looking for book holders. If there is no mechanism for holding the pages open, don't buy it!! I bought one, and it hit the garbage almost instantly!

Law Student's best friend
rating: 5
I bought this bookstand at the beginning of 1L after a lengthy search and lots of testing.
This bookstand is metal, and it has a rubber serrated grip to hold the base of a book in a variety of positions. For me, this is a key feature b/c I use the bookstand at many different locations, and I use desks and tables of different heights. I adjust the main angle w/ the stand in the back, and furtther adjust the book's angle by wedging the spine into a rubber slot at the base.
I should note two other benefits. First, for a year and a half I've put 1200 + page casebooks in this book stand and it's never bent; and I can get the spines of those casebooks to flatten out with the stabilizer arm. Huge ++. Second, I can lean into my casebooks and write in the margins. This bookstand support my upperbody weight. I don't think you'll find a plastic stand, or a wire stand, that will do that.
In sum, if you're in law school, this stand will be your best friend. Your neck muscles will appreciate the investment.

TINY Bookstand
rating: 1
After reading several reviews, I only read one that was negative. I concurred that perhaps one person just had different needs. Well, as soon as I opened the package I realized just how right the negative review was. This book stand would hold up a children's soft cover back. Any of my school books are not stably supported. I would actually have to hold up the sides of the book to read the pages. Unless you have thinner hard back textbooks (the hard back will support the pages), this is not worth buying (especially not for $20.00). Make sure you realize just how small this bookstand is. If that is with you need, then this is the one for you.

I concur with the first review: Absolutely ESSENTIAL for readers!
rating: 5
This book stand is an absolute necessity if you're a college student, and even if you're reading for leisure. I love having my hands free to drink a coffee or snack, or anything else I want to do.
