Do you like to stay up late at night reading, but get tired of holding the book long before you get sleepy? Then check out the revolutionary Buchor Model C, a device that allows you to lie in perfect repose and read your book without having to hold it.
Der Buchor Model C*was invented by a German sound engineer-artist for his scholarly night owl partner who likes to read well past midnight. By attaching a music holder to a microphone stand via a strong and adjustable grip head, der Buchor Model C allows for hand-free, gravity defying reading. Your book attaches to the stand, and thin clips keep the pages flat for easier reading. A small lamp with an environmentally-friendly LED bulb clips onto the stand, much healthier than the blue light from a laptop or a phone.
Der Buchor Model C is not available at any store or online. It’s free! You just have to put it together from materials you have lying around the house (if you are a resourceful artist or innovative sound engineer). Reading late at night has never been easier. Accept no IKEA-like knockoffs and you can throw that disgusting Pillow Pad away.
* known originally as die Bucheule 5000
We are already considering a new model (model T, after Thorsten), who suggested a contraption that involves a mirror and rubber bands!

This article about a forgotten language first inspired the idea, though Thomas Jefferson's book revolver stand was an early example of architectural forays to facilitate reading ventures.

The Buchor could possibly also applied in daylight for early birds. Maybe as a rebrand? I like the suggestion of gravity free reading and also the surprising end ("if you want one, build one yourself").
