Abstract:
A book support includes a horizontal tension member and a compression member and has a hinged connection between the two about which they can pivot between a collapsed position wherein one overlies the other and an extended position wherein the later is generally upright and at an angle to the former. A second tension member is connected to both of the already mentioned members and is arranged to be extended in a taut condition between the two when they are pivoted to the extended position. The horizontal tension member has an end extending beyond the point of connection of the second tension member thereto, this end has a non-skid surface for engaging a book edge as the book is rested against the compression member.
