HANDLING HEAVY BOOKS

  Regarding our earlier Topic of the Week, Bob Fritsch
  writes: "I did not see many replies to this particular topic.
  Q. David Bowers' book on the S.S. Central America
  Treasure certainly needs special handling to prevent personal
  injury.  Several years ago I acquired a music stand from a
  music store that was going out of business.  Not one of those
  flimsy fold-up things, but a good heavy chunk of bent metal.
  Some call it a Concert Stand.  It is not only handy as a
  portable lectern, but is great to hold the Standard Catalog of
  World Coins (for example) beside my work table while
  cataloging those collections.  It has held the aforementioned
  SS CA book while I comfortably recline on the couch happily
  absorbing the material.  I paid about $30 for mine but imagine
  the price has gone up as it has for everything else."
