Reviews

Great Book Weight

"I purchased this book weight as a gift to replace the same product I purchased from Levenger (as a gift) 11 years ago. Being a librarian, my wife is an avid reader and over the past 11 years that book weight has travelled everywhere with her. It's starting to look a little tired from overuse so I thought it was time for a new one. The product is high quality and stands-up to ware extremely well."

Mongrammed Leather Book Weight

"This book weight is absolutely the best. I. have purchased two for myself and gifted three others. The last one was quite a wait getting it, but so worth it. I love all your products."

Guylaine J. (5/5)

Handy and lovely desk accent

"This was gifted to me years ago, and I love it. The monogram makes it extra special. I am a writer and researcher, so I use this all the time."

The best I've found for stiff spiked books

"Needed one for heavy books and also paperbacks with stiff spines. Doesn't work very well on small paperbacks, but theyre built with tight spines, so not surprised, fortunately my paperbacks arent that small, typically. Tried several, including Leatherology's. This seems a bit better, weight distribution wise, for whatever is used inside as the actual weight material on the ends. Like there's a variety of colors, got a pretty dark blue. Price with shipping about same as Leatherology's."

A go to gift!

"I love this book weight and love to give it as a gift. Obviously, it's great for holding a book open, but also serves as a fabulous weight for a stack of papers!"

Invaluable for Readers

"for those of us who read a few books at once and want to refer to them and hold our place. . . these are invaluable. And the quality and weight just perfect."

Q&A

I often read my books in bed, or laying down. Will the book weight hold in this case? I guess I’m asking if it’s magnetic or just works when it’s laid flat. Thank you.
The Leather Book Weight was designed to be used on a flat surface or slight incline. It would not work in upright position.
Hello! Does this book weight use lead? If so, it doesn't seem worth the risk.
The material inside the bookweight is Iron (Fe); there is no lead.
