Bookgem

December 28, 2007

Need help holding that uber-heavy hardcover book open while you’re reading it during lunch? Or that cookbook that never wants to stay open so you precariously balance a can of stewed tomatoes on the corner to keep it open to the right page?

Have no fear, Bookgem is here! In the ever-growing (it seems) line of book-oriented gadgets, Bookgem is a book stand with a pull-out part that supports the book, pull out legs for standing up, and page clips. You can use it in a variety of positions and unlike other book holders, the spring-loaded page grippers and page slots even make page turning easy. At $15 it sure does sound good. They are completely sold out right now, but expect more in stock in a couple of months. You can email them to be notified when the new stock is available. They do sell in brick and mortar stores though, and you could call one near you to find out if they still have some in stock. You’re patient though, right?
