To provide a rotating book stand in which a book is fixed with a book holder, so that the book may not slip down even if slanted, the rotating book stand being provided for solving the following problem: reading a book in a recumbent posture forces the reader to hold the book with both hands, which tires the arm and also makes reading difficult unless the book is positioned on the eye level of a person lying down, which causes the shoulders and arms to get cold in the depth of winter, and which is hard for hospital patients because of an obstructive hose of drip.

The rotating book stand is characterized in that a tripod is attached to the back board holder. The back board and the back board holder are tightened with bolts and butterfly nuts. A book holder base is fixed to the back board with hinges. Two book holders are mounted right and left on a C-type rail to form the book stand rotatable through 360 degrees.
