You may have thought beautiful wooden lap desks with book stands like these went out in the Victorian era.
You would be wrong.
Here are lap desks, portable with a place for pens and a stand for books.
The 6 in book stand rack folds up and down on attractive hinges so that you can store the lap desk flat when not in use.
There is also a rope handle making your lap desk portable.
