Would this hold a 2700 page pharmacotherapy text book with the base being able to support the book.

It was able to hold my 1500 page Rehab book (hard cover) I don't see why not its pretty heavy duty.

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

Actto Green Portable Reading Stand can physically accommodate thick books at various reading angles, but not optimally in terms of holding pages in place. The stand supports the weight of thick volumes. It was not designed for folio-sized references such as atlases, as the height of the stand where the volume rests is only seven inches. You can push the page holders back and lean the spine of the book on the two-inch base. Depending upon the quality of the binding, pages near the front or the back of the volume can sag. A simple check: Set your book on a flat surface. You can quickly check whether the binding will allow pages to stay open to your desired locations at the front or back. I tried Actto Stand with *Guide to Reference Books* Eleventh edition (Chicago: ALA, 1996). This 11.25-inch by 8.75-inch hard-cover volume has over 2000 pages and is 3 inches thick. Locations near the front and back sag without using the page holders, yet the stand functions fairly well. Your 2700-page text might possibly work with the stand if your book is hard cover, the binding is high quality, and the physical dimensions are not much larger than *Guide to Reference Books*. For long-term, sustained use with thick volumes, you might want to consider a bigger stand.

Hi David, I happen to be at the library at the moment and just tried to support a 2600 page law textbook and it is perfectly supported by the base. Now in the interest of time I am not able to find a book that's exactly 2700 pages however there is still space left (with the clear hooks facing outward) to accept a book of that size. I also tried to mount another book that is way heavier than this law book and it handled the weight just fine. Oh and both books were hard back (spine), not paperback. Hope this helps.

I would go with something more substantial. There are several options on Amazon, priced in the $30 range, that I use at work that would be much more appropriate for your needs.

Probably. The book would likely be too flimsy to stand on its own, so you'd have to use the arms on the bottom that flip up and press the pages down, but it would probably work fine. (I use them now for my texts and really like the bottom arms.)

I'm not sure I understand this question, if your asking if it will hold books it should it seems sturdy enough.

It holds my hard cover study bible with ease. I think it will hold your medical text book as well.

I'm not really sure. I only needed it to hold 50 pages, which it does nicely. Sorry.

Depends. The support extends out almost 7 inches. It's a piece of 3/16 rod stock. Strong enough but may not extend out far enough. Can always buy new rod stock (found at any home center) and make one larger if you need to. Only issue going to be will be the weight of the book.

I think it can. Maybe up to 40 - 50 TEXT books! I would get anchors to nail it to the wall from homedepot since your dealing with kids.

Sure. It has flexible flat wire arms that hold the book. It will be bigger than the book but it will work fine.

The clear bars hold the pages back pretty well in all positions. I tried it out with a workbook, and it was fine. A large textbook might not do as well since they tend to have a lot of weight. I'd be more worried about the whole thing tipping over in that case, though!

I use mine to hold a large 3-inch binder, so I think it would hold a book of similar size.

Yes, I think it would hold a few large text books or several smaller ones. It is a large bag with a good amount of space inside.

It is not going to hold a book but it is very stiff and would definitely hold a pamphlet or maybe 15-20 pages of computer paper without sagging....my guess only......

You might be better off with a desktop lecturn. This stand may not last if you are using it daily for thick and heavy books. But for the DIY handy person, it is possible to reinforce this stand to accomodate big and heavy books. I do not know the maximum weight it can hold. I have a cookbook that weighs 6lbs 5oz and it holds it up just fine.

It can hold the medical text, but you will need to adjust how you place the book on the stand a little in order to balance it. For example, when you read the beginning of the book, right side of the book will be way heavier than left, so you need to position the book little bit more to the left on the stand. I'm using Jasmine to hold 2.5 inch medical text and it works fine. But if you are mainly using for big medical books, bigger size stand would be more appropriate.

I would think that it should work fine. It is fairly flexible so it won't be like a hardback book when you finish, but it will be well protected. Good luck. Woody

I would sort of think not. Not if you want to hold the book open and have plenty of room to write, as well. If you've got the dimensions of the thing, draw it out and see what fits. I bet it's a little cramped. Could be frustrating.

Probably not. The base where the book sits is not very deep. It's only about 2 1/2 inches.
