Abstract: A collapsible book holder for securely holding a book open in a comfortable reading position includes a base having a recessed storage area therein, a cover pivotably attached to a first end of the base, a support beam and pair of arms adapted to be collapsed inside the recessed storage area when the cover is closed and deployed when the cover is open to hold a book at a comfortable reading position. The collapsible book holder may further include a pair of collapsible and deployable clips that may be used to hold the book open. The angle of the support beam may be adjusted to allow the angle of repose of a book leaning against it to be varied.
