A multiple position bookstand is provided with a base having an angled upright support mounted thereon which permits holding an open book in an upright position on one side of the upright angled support or positioning an open book on its side edge on the back of the upright angled support to permit reading of the book in a reclining position. An upstanding base bracket is spaced behind the angled upright support to bear on the lower pages in the open book while a downwardly extending bracket movably mounted on the back of the angled upright support holds the upper pages of the open book placed on its side edge behind the angled upright support. A first movable support mounted on the back of the angled upright support which is attached to a lower movable shelf on the front of the upright support urges an open book positioned on its side edge between the base bracket and the downwardly extending bracket outward to flatten the book between these supports while the front shelf allows a book to be positioned in an upright position on the front of the shelf. The downwardly extending bracket is also positioned on an upper movable support which provides the dual function of supporting the downwardly extending bracket on the back of the upright support as well as providing an upper positioning support to position an open book in an upright position on the movable shelf. The bracket elements are all adjustable, and all support elements are movable accommodating the support in two different positions of a variety of book shapes and sizes.
