The Amazon's Curse

I need something to keep my textbook open whilst I quote from it. I was imagining a clear book weight/page holder, but the only options I'm seeing on Amazon don't seem great (one is only large enough to work for paperbacks and the other isn't actually transparent). *Links to products I've found in comments.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a product they love?

Thanks!

Cortg I purchased a book weight on Etsy. This is the link to the seller. It works great! 5y

ChasingOm I like cookbook holders because they hold the book up, which makes it easier to read and transcribe. Here‘s one I found on Amazon: Norpro Acrylic CookBook / IPad / Tablet Holder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002ZFXOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0N4WDb7591N3G 5y

GlassAsDiamonds IKEA have a reindeer shaped metal book stand that could also suit if you can get to one of them - it‘s large enough for most textbooks and wouldn‘t obscure the text (but not “clear” per se) 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 So the ones you posted are something similar to what your looking for but not quite right? I‘m about to go out of town for a seminar but when I get back I can see if there‘s anything I can make that would follow what your looking for. 5y

monalyisha @HerDarkHuntress1 Yes! But you don‘t have to make me anything! That‘s too generous! What‘s your seminar for? Something fun? 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 @monalyisha well i think its going to be fun. I am going to a conference called DEMA. Its for scuba divers. Im going to get my certifications on repairing and inspecting dive equipment. I love to tinker. I dive all the time and my husband is a partner at a dive shop near us and i am going to be taking over the repairs and inspections of equipment while he deployed.

HerDarkHuntress1 @monalyisha My favorite thing in the world is making things for people who have a need. I believe i could make what your looking for out of epoxy and a mold, i would just need to design and build the blank to make a mold. I would just need specs. It would take me a while but if its something you would use often it would totally be worth it! I have an Etsy page if you would like to message me personally? If you want its AUE Customs. I sell decals. 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 Hey got a question about the book you have listed here. What number in the series is that. If i look i will add another hundred books to my tbr list! 5y

monalyisha @HerDarkHuntress1 I only picked it because it matched the theme of my failed Amazon search; I‘ve never read anything by her. But research shows that‘s it‘s number five in a series that starts with the tagged book.

Heart of the Dragon

monalyisha P.S. @HerDarkHuntress1 I usually use Wikipedia or a site called Fantastic Fiction to look up series order! It‘s pretty helpful. 🙌🏻 https://www.fantasticfiction.com/a/ 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 @monalyisha I have read Heart of the Dragon. Showalter is one of my fav authors but I haven‘t had one of her books in a while. I should probably just reread them. 🤓😆🤓 5y
