Abstract: A self-closing book holder and support has a back portion, for attachment to a support structure, and two spaced apart forwardly extending wings. Each wing has a forwardly and downwardly inclined top surface, an inner surface and a curved portion blending the top surface and inner surface. A book is normally supported from its top rear edge and hangs down between the wings, the top surfaces of the wings providing support surfaces for the book when held by a user in an open position. On release of the book, the inclination of the top surfaces of the wings and the curved portions, cause the book to close and pivot down between the wings. An enclosure can be provided which encloses the book when in a closed condition.
