Abstract
The invention relates to a book holding device for holding the pages of a book in an open position for reading. The device consists of two support bars connected at a pivotal joint. Each support bar carries a slide bar spaced therefrom by stop clips. Each slide bar carries a book clip which may slide along the slide bar to adjust for different book sizes. Provision is also made for folding the device for storage. One of the slice bars is hingedly mounted to its support bar such that the book clip can be removed from the slide bar. The other support bar is formed as a hollow housing to allow the device to be folded after the book clip has been removed.
