Can this item hold a book larger than its dimensions (height and width, not the thickness of the book)?

Yes, it can. It can hold the New York Review of Books, for example, as well as an over-sized Time-Life set of illustrated folklore .

Yes, this book stand is a beast. But if the book is soft-covered, it will flop over the edges.
1630309
Yes, but I wouldn't try but more than half again it's height or double the width.

yes, it can hold a larger book, like an atlas, even. i am using it now for a heavy sherlock holmes anthology that is 9" x 11" and waay thicker than the spring page holders can manage, but i can read it fine without using the page holders. obviously, if your book is twice as high as the back of the bookstand and doesn't have a hardcover, it might flop backwards. but so far, i've been able to use this bookstand for every possible book i've needed to read. i can't say enough good things about this stand, seeing that i own 5 of them and scatter them all over the house for convenience.

Yes, no problem. I've had it for over a year and have used it with books larger than the stand.

I would think so, though I haven't used it for anything like an unabridged dictionary or tall atlas. I'm only using it for my law books right now.

The base where the book would sit is 9 inches wide on each side. I would think that it would work okay.

No however we bought the tv stand and use it for our printer and other storage ie baskets, binders, etc. the TV stand would not be good for "regular" sized books.

Yes, It has little pop up lip at the bottom that would hold a book secure. About a half an inch in depth

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

This should work fine. The same ledge thar holds an IPad shouls accommodate a book as lomg as it is aversge in dize and shape.

This item is 14'' wide. The holding lip is 1'' so you could accommodate a book up to 2'' thick.

The main factor guiding how much weight it will hold will be the strength of the screws that are used to mount it, IMHO. The screws that came with mine seemed a bit on the small side, so I went and bought longer stronger screws, and ended up using both. I certainly wouldn't be afraid to sit a couple books on mine, even if they were pretty heavy ones.

The space for the book is 1.75 in. If the book is opened, it would fit. The weight is not a problem

It depends on how big the rings are. The depth of the stand is about two inches and holds my cookbooks. If you have one of those huge three ring binders, it might be a tight squeeze. It is certainly wide enough to hold a binder, however.

I suppose it would depend on the book, but the tension and spacing of the holders are adjustable, so it should work for most applications. It's worked so far for me!

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't. It is fairly sturdy and I have put stacks of books on it without problems. You will have to tighten the legs over time as they loosen with time.

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

Large books won't fit, but I tried some hardcover novels (9.5"x6.5") and they were fine. The space is 11" high, but because of the angle, it's just a bit over 6" deep at that point.

Double check the dimensions! As I am looking at it, depending on which Bookbook you got, they measure too close to each other to fit.

It works with paperbacks 1 or two inch thick. I does not work with tall 13+ inch and heavy books.

It can hold a wide range of sizes. I use it for books that are over 16" diagonally.
