I'm buying my fourth Atlas Ultra! I have two Atlas Ultra bookstands one for my locker at law school and one for my home. The other two I've purchased have been as gifts for other people.
I continue to cherish your excellent product and whenever people come up to me in the library and ask about it, I tell them it's one of the best purchases I've ever made....I think that for medicine/law students, this product is something really important, not just for comfort and efficiency but also for health.
Thanks for making the one and only high quality, classy, strong, well designed, elegantly simple solution.

I am delighted with the quality of workmanship, simplicity of design, and utility of my three new book holders.
Already I can study law fourteen hours a day without the headaches, neck and shoulder strain I experienced previously. Now I can enjoy the pleasant fatigue of studying subjects I love.
Thank you for making a brilliantly simple product for the serious student!
Kind regards,

I bought the Atlas bookholder from you last summer, and I continue to profit from it. Really can’t imagine how I managed before! It goes from my desktop to my laptop work environment.
I even set it up on the coffee table when I’m couch-potatoing on the sofa!
It's perfect for a monthly journal indexing job. I love being able to raise and lower the shelf.

Well, well. You've gone and done it now.
I must say I really, really like your CopyHolder. Those little metal
posts are handy humdingers - in fact, I appreciate the tilt(s), the
pencil holder, the ease of moving the line-marker with hardly a swat,
and the strength of the whole thing. I can put my binder with 300
pages on the contraption with no problem.
It is so seldom that one can be utterly satisfied with an item these
days, often due to too much hype and outright lies about all the
problems it will solve (and implying that it won't create other
problems), but I sure am happy with this one.
Good work, y'all.

I must tell you that I bought the Atlas Book
and Copy Holder as a gift for a friend. She had seen an ad in
a magazine and showed it to me. She has raved about every
aspect of your product: the craftmanship, originality and
functionality of this product have all exceeded her
expectations. So much so, that she is considering purchasing
another for her office! How nice it is to give a
gift that is so well appreciated.
I should add, too, that the merchandise arrived promptly
and in perfect condition. Thanks for your wonderful product
and customer service.

| I love my new Atlas
bookholder! I wish I would have had an Atlas during my
college years. It is attractive and strong. I needed
something to hold heavy textbooks at the right angle and
height for me. Light glare used to bother me while
reading, but not anymore. I can adjust my Atlas to avoid
both neck strain and annoying light glare. You have a
great product! Thank you.

I am using the ATLAS for
several weeks now. I find myself using it easily and
nearly always when I am reading. Your whole body position
is so much more relaxed when you do not have to hold the
book yourself. I also feel that I hold my head
much more natural when I am using the ATLAS.
When I am using the computer
I do not that often have a book or copy to hold, but when
I have them the ATLAS is always a helpful hand to
hold them perfectly.
So I like to thank you very
much for your product and when I get the opportunity I
will also tell it to more people in the Netherlands about
it. It is very useful for me, so why not for others.

I’ve
looked high and low for a good book holder. Nothing compares to
the ergonomic ATLAS! It
puts my reading material exactly where I need it. It’s easy to
adjust and doesn’t take up much room. I appreciate its
rock-solid construction, and I admire its workmanship –
with attention to details like its non-skid base and shelf. I like my ATLAS so
much that I just had to order another! Good work on a
great product!

Received the Atlas Ultra
today...the
Atlas is without question the most clever thing I've ever
seen. I especially like the simplicity with which
you've thought this through. I am using the Atlas in
a very ornate room and it blends in beautifully. I've
wanted a dictionary holder for years!

I must say, this product
[Standard Atlas} is VERY well made and the design was
obviously well thought out. I sure am glad that I
found your site!
Thank you very much for your
honesty and excellent customer service!

As an art history student, most
of my books are quite heavy, often cumbersome and hard to
hold. This makes the study of paintings and other
objects frustrating and difficult.
I have been looking for a
stand to hold my books so that I can keep pictures in view
throughout the day, and when I heard about the "Atlas
Ultra" I was curious. I ordered one and now use
it every day. It is perfect for my needs, and I love
it.

Oh my gosh do I love this product. I
just received [the Atlas Ultra], put it together in a snap and sat down to
study. What a relief. I am studying medical transcription
and am constantly looking from a workbook to a big heavy medical
dictionary. Now I can work in my workbook and look at eye
level at my dictionary. You've just made my life significantly
easier. Thank you so much!
I also appreciate the fine
service. The personal service is very impressive!

Well, I must tell you
my [Standard
Atlas] book
holder is even better than I had hoped. It truly makes my job tons easier,
and in ways I never anticipated. I thought that by putting my big, heavy
medical dictionary on it, it would just make looking things up easier. And
indeed it does.
I forgot about having to hold this 9-pound
tome while tapping in with one finger the word I just looked up. No more.
Nor does my Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary get tangled in my
headset cord or bump into any unwanted keys on my keyboard. Not to mention
the times I'd look something up, put the dictionary back, and then forget
how to spell what I had just looked up. Naturally this necessitated
another grab for the dictionary. Now it stays open at eye level, and I
just read along with no fuss or muss. My Standard Atlas...can also hold my
binder, which I just plop on the nice, wide shelf right on top of my
medical dictionary when I need to look at them.
The first time I used my book holder under
actual transcription conditions, I actually laughed out loud at how easy
it made things. So I am one very, very happy and content customer. I'm
deliriously overjoyed I found your website.

I just wanted you to know that
my... book holder arrived last Tuesday. I am delighted with
it.... And it is now in service, as are the other
two. Thanks for the extra posts. These bookholders
really are a clever idea. Given all the books and papers I
have, and the amount of time I spend in front of my
computers, at home and the office, I wish I had had them
years ago. It would have made things more simple.

As a physical therapist, I am always looking
for great ergonomic tools that are affordable. I searched for a
while before I found [the Atlas Ergonomic Book & Copy Holder], and
have to say the height adjustability and affordability won me over.

I got my new
[Standard] Atlas today, and it is perfect. I opened it, and put it right to work. I
had known at once when I bought my first Atlas that I would get another,
because there is just no bookstand that compares with this for ease of use and ergonomic efficiency in dealing
with big volumes. My two Atlases now stand side by side in my work space,
holding my large Biblical Lexicons and
Study Books. They make my work easier (at least the materials handling portion), and they look mighty good too.

Well, [The Atlas Ergonomic Book & Copy Holder] is just perfect, and I can't tell you how many awful metal devices I've tried and chucked out over the past four years! My husband was rather sceptical at the start, and then was bowled over by its simplicity and practicality.
I don't know whether you or your firm ever thought about marketing its products here in Israel; it would certainly be ground-breaking!

My Atlas is installed and happy now next to my screen [in Norway]. I think
it's an ingenious contraption and am enjoying using it.... Being married to my own
personal technical genius, I know how to appreciate the consciousness embedded in objects
and I see that LOTS of thought has gone into Atlas.... Susan Schwartz Senstad

Last year I was given an Atlas copy holder as a gift. I began using it in
my office and found that it is extremely convenient and efficient and,
to my surprise, it
has helped me with a problem I was having with my neck. The Atlas is so adjustable that it
enables me to place my work at exactly the right height so that I can sit comfortably
without twisting. I
enjoyed using
the Atlas so much that I purchased another for use with my home computer. I
found that I can work on any size document and Atlas holds them all.
The bonus is that it looks great, too.

I love the Atlas! The wood is gorgeous, and it's so functional - I can
actually put heavy computer books on it. It's fabulous.

I have looked for a good ergonomic copy stand for years. The Atlas is a terrific tool for
any one who spends time looking at copy while using a computer. I am amazed at the
product's versatility and plain, simple usefulness. I cannot tell you how much your
product helps me. Cordell Koland

My Atlas Book Stand is an integral part of my workstation and operations. Throughout the day, we get calls requesting information and pricing on a
variety of products. At my desk, most of this information is contained in
drawer-mounted loose-leaf files. They weigh about 4 lbs. each and are clumsy to
handle.
The Atlas Stand performs a valuable function, allowing me to
slap open a binder at the perfect angle, for reading information over the telephone or
typing it into a quotation or e-mail. It's great not having to worry about it
collapsing under the weight, or losing adjustment.
We would recommend your product to anyone needing a durable
and effective adjustable stand for reference material.

It's a happy day when you stumble onto a product that is functional,
attractive, and just plain old does it better than anything you've seen before. Recently I
heard about an "ergonomically-designed copy holder" with so many fascinating
features I just had to try it. I used it for
one day and fell in love all over. First of all, it's pretty. Mine is a light birch wood
with smooth, rounded corners. When you think technical all day, a bit of beauty is not to
be underestimated.
But second, and most important, this copy holder will take
care of every odd and unique shape or weight of copy I can think of - from a single sheet
of paper to books, oversized documents, three-ring binders, manuals, and stapled material
that always slips out of your copy holder's grip. It would be great for programmers and
anyone who uses fanfold paper.
Whoever designed the Atlas copy holder has struggled with
real world work.
Review by Sharon Lombardo in The Typographer |

You asked me this morning if I am still using my "ATLAS", and my
immediate reaction was, "You can have my ATLAS when you pry it out of my cold dead
fingers!" and you can quote me on that. ATLAS is the most elegant solution to the
problem of "How do I hold what I am copying from" that I have ever seen.
Over the years I have used everything from a clothespin
taped onto a student lamp to an electric copy holder with a pneumatic foot switch (no
kidding) and ATLAS beats them all hands down. It is the only copy holder I have ever seen
that will allow me to go from a stack of 14" wide printouts, to the Washington DC
telephone book (quite hefty), to a single sheet of fax flimsy, and handle all of them will
equal facility.
