Abstract
A book holder includes a generally rigid rear panel, generally rigid, spaced-apart front panels that are at least partially transparent, generally parallel to and rigidly coupled to the rear panel, a ferromagnetic strip attached to a lower exterior portion of each front panel, and a plurality of magnetic clips, each of which may be attached to a page of a book which must be turned. The covers of a book and pages thereof which need not be turned, may be placed between the front and rear panels. The space between the two front panels permits the pages which must be turned to be secured to either ferromagnetic strip. The holder may optionally include, beneath the front panels, a tubular base portion, equipped with a finger slot at each end to facilitate grasping the magnetic clips and turning the pages.
