Abstract: A book holder comprising a generally planar back frame that defines a support surface against which the cover of the book rests. The support surface is disposed between opposing left and right edges defined by the back frame. The back frame extends substantially upward from a lower support base. The support base extends outward and upward from the back frame to define a receiving surface for supporting a book thereon. The pages of a book being received between the receiving surface and the support surface of the back frame such that the downward weight of the book wedges the pages between the receiving surface and the support surface. Opposing the support base is a page restraint arm. The page restraint arm is spaced-apart from the support base, and extends outward and downward from the support surface of the back frame, to define a restraining surface that opposes the support surface. A channel is formed between the restraining surface and the support surface.
