Will this stand hold a music book?

It's surprisingly sturdy. I play in an orchestra, and have my music in an 1" ring binder.

This stand will hold a music book if it is not too bulky. The lip of the stand is not that wide and there are holding clips set for a book ( only for pages)All in all, this stand is not as "heavy duty" as it purports to be and is quite confusing to set up as well.

It depends on the size of the book. I generally keep my music in a three-ring binder and it's deep and sturdy enough for that but occasionally I wish the desk was a little deeper. I also use "Real Books" and it holds those fine. There are holding clips that work okay for single pages. Opening the stand for the first time takes reading the instructions. Bring the long arms up and keep the short ones down and it opens easily. If you're meeting resistance, STOP, and read the instructions again. Once you've done it once, you'll never have a problem and it's been a sturdy, reliable, convenient travel stand for me. It depends on the size of the book.

Yes, this stand will work with this size book. The plastic page holders slide back and forth, and can hold even my big French dictionary or small paperback novel, something as small as many young adult books. I've even used the stand to read a whitepaper consisting of 18 pages and one staple. This book stand is quite versatile. Go for it! I use this gadget all the time and it's amazing the big part it plays in my life.The person who mentioned putting the stand on a table was surely right -- the stand will not work on your lap, for example: it will just collapse over.

If you are talking about width not length, the answer is NO. The case is only about 9" wide. A typical printed soft cover music book is about 9" and does jus fit.

Yes. The problem is, Jessica, that after you've unfolded the desk, it won't stay in place and support even a small book of sheet music unless the ledge is holding it in place. This also wouldn't be a problem, except that there's nothing to keep the ledge in place besides friction and gravity. You can't get the stand to hold the position you see in the picture. You have to put the ledge on the top, and rest the book on the bottom. Then it will only hold provided that you not touch it.

it would depend on the height of the paperback. I used it to hold a dvd collection and there is a 1/2 inch or so clearance on the height . I hope this help

Yes it will, its actually fairly wide and pretty long, it also expands at the bottom. It fits about three to four dictionary sized texts books.

The stand has room and is plenty sturdy. I think it could hold a two inch thick hardback book if you wanted.

I would say no. The "lip" at the bottom is very narrow. For example it will hold my iPad Air in a thin leather case however it would not snugly hold the iPad Air if it were in say a survivor case which is much thicker. Given that actual books are thick by nature I don't believe this is the stand for you. You may want to search for a stand called wedgestand, all one word, that may be something you prefer.

I'm pretty sure it will. To my knowledge It can hold a book up to 5" thick. It's very sturdy.

Of course, but if you'll need to use the pages holders and the book is thinner than half and inch it may not push the page down tightly against the back of the stand. It will still hold the page back though. How small of a book are we talking?

Yes, it will as far as the dimensions are concerned. But, considering the weight of the book, it will depend on how you use the stand; if you use it on a desk or a table it should be o.k.

I'm pretty sure it will. The thickness is what really matters. The stand can hold (barely) a 230-page hardback (odd situation). So far, the few that have been allowed to touch it are wishing they had invented it.

Yes there is a shelf for a book or a tablet. However a thivk book would not fit. I out my iPod on the shelf.

Yes, Jusdubbin its made of plastic. It holds sheet music or student music book. Works well so far.

Yes, the cookbook holder will hold most any size book, it's design is such that a plexiglass cover lays in front of the book covering the book. The cover is 12" wide thus it will totally cover a book up to 6" wide. It will also support a book from 1" to over 12" high.

I think I would get the smaller stand for regular paperback novel-type books, but I'm sure it would. I use it for my law school casebooks which are 7x10x2 and it holds them very nicely.
