Abstract: A rack and method for retaining reading materials while allowing them to be read. The rack has an upwardly slanted face having support structures at the top and bottom of the rack face. The support structures have walls extending from the rack face with a plurality of apertures or slots facing each other so that rigid ribs may be placed between the pages of the reading materials and into opposing slots in the walls. The ribs are longer than the distance between an unslotted side of the bottom support structure and the slotted side of the top support structure such that the ribs are retained within the slots when gravity carries them to the bottom of the bottom support structure. The top support structure is wider than the bottom support structure so that the ribs are shorter than the distance between an unslotted side of the top support structure and the slotted side of the bottom support structure.
