Recently I purchased an instruction manual for database software. I wanted to place it near my computer so I could read the instructions and turn the pages as I worked through complex training examples. The paperback spread open measures sixteen inches across, stands nine inches high, and has 1,091 pages. Something this size calls for a stand such as might be seen in libraries, schools, or offices. I found just the thing in the Large Bamboo Book Stand made by Linnai Products and sold through Amazon at a very reasonable price. The workmanship is good, the bamboo has a smooth, attractive natural finish, and the stand has five slots for adjusting the tilt for reading ease. The book sits on a hinged, foldout bamboo shelf with attached flexible metal fingers that hold the pages in place. The tips of the page holders are encased in soft plastic to prevent damage to the book pages.
The book stand accommodates small books as well as the giants. A 9" by 7" or a 7" by 9" fits easily and the page holders swivel as needed to keep the pages in place without obscuring the text or pictures.
The book stand is easy to transport as the page holders fold into a slot in the shelf, which in turn folds flat against the face of the stand. The tilt mechanism folds flat against the back of the stand, making a compact bundle for carrying.
