Book holding - One-handed

One-handed doesn't work very well. My therapists failed to get my left hand even remotely usable. My tries, none working very well. Browsing book stores is an exercise in futility right now, have to find a chair to sit in if I want to check out a book. When I was buying a map of Africa and Madagascar a nice lady came by and helped me fold it out, did manage to fold it back myself. As compared to the map of Spain which was thrown away because folding the 6 foot by 6 foot map was impossible after a couple of uses. I refuse to start doing eBooks.

Book chair. Works but really only in the middle of books. The book is 'Mad looks at the Fifties'

Thumb thing, didn't work, the wrist and arm spasticity means the book is never level.

Book clamp. Works, but slow turning pages, for this puzzle book it works great. You have to not care about breaking the spine. Started doing sudoku again, was working on the hardest puzzles just prior to stroke. Want to get back to it and tackle the Platinum Blonde puzzle. It is quite the challenge clamping something one handed even with these squeeze clamps.
