Abstract: The present invention relates to a book holding device which enables a user to read in bed without using their hands. In its broadest context, the present invention includes a book supporting platform to which a first and second arm assembly are pivotally attached. Each arm assembly is telescopically arranged to allow for the extension and retraction of the supporting platform. Furthermore, each of the arm assemblies includes a clamp at its distal end. The clamps allow the device robe secured to the backboard of a bed, thus allowing reading in a hands free manner.
