NEW Readezy Bookstand

The Readezy is a unique reading accessory, which has already been a tremendous success in many overseas markets. Now available in the UK for the first time this brilliantly-designed new bookstand, made from tough, wipe-clean polycarbonate, will hold anything from a large-format recipe book to a single A4-sheet. It features a unique patented tension mechanism which ensures that pages truly are kept in place yet can easily be turned over with just one hand. No more problems with pages being blown back by draughts from open windows or air-conditioning units! No more requirements to have a screwdriver to hand to fix wooden page holders when the screws get loose!

It has been endorsed by medical professionals worldwide because it helps enhance posture and reduce eye strain. In this respect, and many others, it is far superior to other bookstands and makes an ideal gift as a useful kitchen accessory (for tomorrow's Masterchefs), an everyday work tool (for students and professionals), a comfortable reading aid (for booklovers, elderly or disabled people) and a copyholder (for anyone with a PC).
