To many avid readers, the book stand is a point of pride, an altar dedicated to their good taste and vast knowledge. Their books become essential parts of their lives, best pals as long as they are reading them and then valued friends who can be relied on for a laugh, a smile or a pat on the back when things get tough. In fact, many bibliophiles consider their precious volumes to be part of their family, to be cared for as much--and in some cases more than--their own flesh and blood. Which is why they will settle for nothing less that the best for their home library. And this is why you need a book stand, to keep your book open to the page you want without damaging your faithful book companion.
