Abstract
An improved bookholder for use with a pole lamp comprising a book support having a back rest and pivotable ledges adapted to hold the book in a selectable orientation, an attachment at one end thereof to the bookholder, the arm being sufficiently flexible to be bent to a desired shape and sufficiently rigid to maintain the shape after it is bent, and a shade attached to the other end of the adjustable arm, whereby the shade may be adjusted with respect to the light source and a book on the book support. Preferably, the shade comprises light-attenuating vanes which may be folded up like a fan when not in use, or opened to any desired extent to change the size of the shade. The adjustable arm holding the shade may be bent or moved in a variety of directions to adjust the position of the shade with respect to the light source.
