Does the book lay flat when opened for drawing?

No. It is just like any other bound journal. To get it to lay flat, you have to press it and crease the binding

No, it is completely flat. Larger than your typical card table and quite sturdy. I am very happy with mine.

No, it's actually pretty flat. I put things on top without issue. Very pretty.

The cover itself lays flat but the pages themselves don't lay as flat as a ring binder type would. But the pages stay open the same way any hard cover book does. Hope that helps?

It folds completely flat if you are going to hold it to read. You can also use it hands free since it has ribbing to brace 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!

I think it would depend on the size of the book. I personally don't keep it in the most upright position because it gets a little wobbly.

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

Yes it does. Its a spiral, so just like a notebook you would write in. You can leave flat open or fold to show only half.

The notebook will stay open, and relatively flat. This notebook is very similar to the hardback Moleskine notebooks. I really liked these because they came with labels and stickers to help archive on your bookshelf, along with a Table of Contents page for you to index important notes or dates. Well thought out notebook

It does not lie flat when open. Because of that and the size there are some challenges for writing in this journal. It is a beautiful little book though, especially if you enjoy dragonflies.

it depends on the size of the book. the oversize one will have to lie flat.

No, it lays down flat so it looks like a tablet. There should be pictures in the description that show this. It is pretty neet. I really like it

Yes. Just lay the open book on the top of the unit and press copy, making sure the book doesn't fall off during carriage movement.

Yes it does lay flat but would not recommend buying it. The fabric ripped on mine beyond repair after using it just five times

No! I was very disappointed to discover that it doesn't lay out flat. Otherwise, I really like it. I wonder how the previous poster got it flat? I sure can't.

Yes. The section the reader stands on in easel configuration folds backward and lies flat against the back of the reader if you don't need to use the stand. I read as much with it that way as using the stand.
