Abstract: A holder for jigsaw puzzles, game pieces, pictures or the like that includes a stiff rectangular panel having an upper flat surface on which the pieces can be assembled, a flexible cover sheet that removably overlies the pieces on such upper flat surface of said member and a pouch for the panel. Each of the pouch and panel have a carrying handle and these are aligned with one another when the panel is fully inserted into the pouch. The handles are an integral part of the respective members associated therewith. The panel's side edges taper inwardly toward one another in a direction toward the bottom edge thereof and the pouch side edges have a corresponding taper. The upper surface of the panel has a matt non-slip surface as does also the flexible cover sheet.

Abstract: A book cover assembly has a book, a cover and a retainer securing the book to the cover. Pivot members associated with either mounting means for securing the cover to a fixed structure or the cover are biased to pivot to a position associated with the cover in a closed configuration by biasing means associated with the other of said mounting means and cover. The biasing means engage the pivot members under urging from the book as it falls from an open upper position.The mounting assembly is disposed at 45.degree. to the spine of the book cover assembly and is hinged at 45.degree. to a mounting plate so that the book can be moved from a preferred stored orientation which is side face-out to a conventional open orientation with the spine at 90.degree. to its original position. A variation for accommodating a pair of books in tandem is also described in which the books will locate in a preferred orientation.
