Will it hold a large hardcover book?

yes, it will hold a decent sized hardcover book. however, if, by large, you mean lots of pages (think Harry Potter), it will rest on it, but not stay open. Will have to hold it open. I love mine for reading in bed. Also works great with a Kindle or tablet!!

I use it for large hard cover books, but I still have to hold it. the book rests on it and it is helpful.

Kinda sorta. I just tried it with a fairly thin hardcover book and it worked a little. It wouldn't work for me personally because I still had to hold the book open. Maybe if mine was "broken in" with books instead of my Kindle... I dunno. (Sorry I wasn't more helpful)

Depends on size of book, but mostly, yes. Shelves are adjustable and depth is good for paperback size.

Yes, it does. The two metal clips that adjust to the size of the book can hold a paperback as easily as an over-sized novel or magazine.

I haven't used the book rack yet, but I think it would be plenty sturdy for a paperback. One thing I will suggest is gluing a little strip of non-slip rubber grippers on the bottom of the edges. I've have mine slip a few times from being lightly bumped.

Yes it can hold paperback books as well. The holders in the front can hold the pages and book open for you. You can also angle the holders a bit to hold different sized books.

It would - but depends on book thickness. This bag doesn't have any 'give' to it .. It's fairly rigid and does not expand.

I think it can, I put dozens of heavy books on my shelves. Follow the directions for putting them together you should be fine!

Just tried it on a hardcover book and it is quite large. Also think it would cause fatigue over time from weight.

yes i it will. i just popped a book inside to see. but i guess u will have to pad the edges of book so it doesn't get banged around.

I am sure it would depend on how many books are on top of the bottom one. If you have a hardcover, then put it on the bottom and pile your paperbacks on top. This is a great item! Very strong!

I have used mine with large books. Initially when all of the weight is on one side it might be a little tricky, but it can certainly hold the weight.

It would depend on the thickness and the weight of the binder. If it was 1 1/2 - 2" thick, maybe so. The stand is very well made but so far I've only used it to hold conventional cookbooks (Southern Living Annual collection).

Not knowing how large and heavy your book is, I just tried putting a 1500+ page hardcover book on my stand, and it seemed pretty much just as stable as with just a few pages of sheet music. I would however suggest: Putting the back leg pointed straight back (hopefully this makes sense), so it doesn't tip back, and for extra support on each side. I'd also suggest slightly offsetting your book, slightly more centering the weight distribution.

You can fit a mass market paperback in it, as long as it's not a really thick one, but it will not fit most hard cover or larger sized paperback books. I hope this helps.

Yes, it will. It will hold books of various sizes, Kindle, Nook, and ipad. It can be set in several angels to accommodate what you are working with at the time. The clips will hold pages keeping them from turning on you.

I'm not sure, but I have some pretty heavy hardcover books without any bowing of the shelves. Hope that helps!

It should, I tried it with a book that size. It is actually adjustable so it will work with just about any size.
