bookrests

Text display holders

Bookrests are stands or supports that hold a book open at a readable angle, freeing the reader's hands.

They range from simple folding frames to elaborate wooden or metal designs.

Bookrests are useful for reading while eating, typing, or playing music from sheet music: She propped the cookbook on a bookrest while she cooked.
