Does this book lay open flat?

Nope. Not unless you want to break the binding. However, it's still my favorite notebook I've ever used.

I agree with the previous two answers. Papers or folders laying flat, yes. Heavy books, no.

No, like all "book bound" journals, it will not lie completely flat. The only journals that will do such are spiral bound such as financial ledgers which I guess most people who keep journals avoid due to the possibility of pages being removed either accidentally or intentionally. The "book bound" journal by Gibson is of excellent quality, and I am pleased with their overall performance.

I would imagine so. Seems the thing that holds the book open could be loosened and pages turned with one hand.

yes! it's just heavy so handle carefuly: not fragile book but don't toss or open-close roughly. mine opens each page all the way to the last.

Could Possibily come open but I have it with other books that are rarely looked at. I really like it.

Hi Sarah,Yes, the back leg swings out to prop up the book stand and folds back to close up. The ledge which your book would be propped on does not collaspes; it is stationary. This is a really beautiful cookbook stand and I'm glad I purchased it. Hope this helps!

Nope only lies flat...which is good since it's weight/bulk can be spread out...you may be able to fold it smaller at the divisions--like into halves/thirds--not sure..don't have mine available @ present... Good luck!

Yes it will lay flat, however, you need to insert note paper and any course books you are studying. Neat, compact with pencils and pens for highlighting importatt stuff.

No. It does stay open and stays pretty flat when using. Quite like the little calendar. Had one for this year, too.

No! It is very difficult to fold and if not done exactly right, standing on the correct side when you fold it, it will collapse unexpectedly. It collapsed on me and my wife and fortunately we neither one were hit by it, but it was close. My wife will not fold it at all now and I have to really think about it and look at the book to make sure I do it right. If you stand it up, I would wrap a bungee cord or some other means to hold it together in the folded position, or I expect it could also open unexpectedly and hurt someone or something.

No, it ships flat. Though you can fold/condense it to the size of a dictionary and it snaps back into shape with ease.

Yes...it lays flat! But it's not hardback or hardcover...it's a cardstock covered calendar tucked inside a durable, thin, vinyl protective cover. I live by them because there are small and flexible...no spiral wire to accidentally flatten or rip pages out of. I have saved my calendars all the way back to 1997 in one gallon-size, zip-lock bag! Hope this info helps! -Hym

No- it is more like a normal book would be. It doesn't flop open- so it has never wen an issue for me. The nook clips into a secure and safe holder inside that is small and convenient. This is the best cover I've ever had for my nook- trim and functional (no magnets or elastic needed).

Hello -- the art portfolio is bound, not rings, so the number and order of pages is set. The landscape orientation makes this a unique product, and it does lay nearly flat -- does not tend to close up at all. Hope this helps -- PG

It collapses and folds in half. That is as small as it gets. To lay flat it has to be opened up

Hi: What do you mean flat? The book open up to each page that has 2 slots that the pictures go into. The other side also has 2 slots. Did this help you? Please let me know. Thank you
