Abstract:
A book for vertically displaying information on selected pages thereof, comprisinga) front and back covers each having a bound edge and a non-bound edge, and an exterior surface and an interior surface, wherein the exterior surfaces of each cover have permanently attached thereto a releasable mounting means which provides a friction coefficient sufficient to maintain the book mounted in a vertical position on a planar surface unless acted upon by an external force;b) a plurality of adjacent pages between the front and back covers, each page comprising a bound edge and a non-bound edge, wherein a tab extends from each of the non-bound edges corresponding to the attached page and arranged such that viewing any one tab on a page is not obstructed by the tabs on any of the other pages, and wherein each page is releasably adhered to the adjacent page or adjacent interior surface of a cover such that separation, turning of a page, and re-adhering can be performed in a single-handed operation; andc) a binder for retaining together the front and back covers and the pages, wherein said binder is attached along the bound edge of each of the front and back covers and each of the pages therebetween.
