Book Holder Bracelet
I can see the utility of a book holder. Often use them myself. But a book holder on your wrist? Maybe if you wanted to read while driving... From Popular Science, Apr 1930:
Handy Bracelet Serves As Magazine Holder
What might be a convenience to readers is a unique wrist attachment recently designed for holding magazines and small periodicals open before the eye at arm's length. This novel book holder is a bracelet fitting snugly about the forepart of the wrist, to which is fixed a small bracket firmly supporting the periodical just as the "lyre" of a cornet supports sheet music.
The device is adjustable to any wrist and may be obtained in sterling silver or nickel, silver, or gold plated.

I'm surprised this company never bought ad space in nudy mags.

Wouldn't work, Matt. No vibration dampener seems to be present.
