Abstract: A holder is provided for a writing pad having a binding strip extending around and lapping over the top of the pad. A cover for the holder has a front portion extending over the binding strip and the upper side of the pad. A first flap formed integrally with the cover extends over the binding strip and terminates adjacent a free edge of the binding strip. A second flap formed integrally with the first flap extends beneath and in a reverse direction to the first flap with a portion of the binding strip therebetween. A laterally projecting member is carried by the ends of the second flap and a cut-away portion in the cover superjacent the binding strip receives both flaps upon movement of the cover into engagement with the pad.
