You see them supporting huge hardback books in reference libaries.
I checked the word in dictionary.com and even the short one’s called a lectern.
Yeah, when I hear “lectern” I envision a tall podium. I didn’t realize lecterns could be just for books. It somewhere between “lectern,” “book stand” and “book rest.” Thanks, folks.
Feh, my link doesn’t work right, but after the Demco page comes up, just click “Go” next to the search box and it will take you to the page where you can select a dictionary stand.
You were great, KneadToKnow. Thanks.
