A holder is presented for collecting, organizing, and mounting pages of sheet music. The holder includes an elongated sheet made of sturdy and heavy weight paper material divided into a predetermined number of sections by traverse perforation lines. Coupling members are disposed on at least one of the sections such that the pages of sheet music may be mounted over the elongated sheet using the coupling member. The holder may act as a stand for sheet music.

An illuminatable assembly, and methods of making and using such an illuminatable assembly, whereby the illuminatable assembly can include at least one page and a support coupled to the page, whereby the support can be configured to support a light-emitting panel provided by a mobile computing device. When in an activated condition, the light-emitting panel can provide light to illuminate at least a portion of the page.

An illuminated assembly, and methods of making and using such an illuminated assembly, whereby the illuminated assembly includes a panel and at least one sheet coupled to the panel, the sheet capable of overlaying engagement with the panel. The sheet can include a sheet front surface opposite a sheet back surface, and at least one light transmission portion disposed therein, whereby the light transmission portion can communicate between the sheet front and back surfaces. Further, the illuminated assembly can include a light source operatively coupled to the panel, whereby in an activated condition, the light source can provide light to the panel. Following, the light can be transmitted from the panel through the light transmission portion of the sheet such that the light can be viewable by a viewer of the sheet front surface.

A calendar comprises a planar frame, one or more ring sections, and an insert section. The planar frame of a first dimension has an inner surface portion and an outer surface portion and configured to be folded along a central portion on both directions. The one or more ring sections are installed along the central portion of the planar frame. The insert section has a second dimension and attached to the planar frame through the one or more ring sections on the inner surface portion of the planar frame, so as to be enclosed by the planar frame or disposed on a surface of the planar frame. The first dimension is larger than the second dimension so that the planar frame encloses the insert section with specific margins around one or more edges of the insert section. Both ends of the planar frame are configured to be connected.

A book has a front cover having a first edge which is unconnected, and an opposing second edge which is connected to a spine. A back cover has first edge which is connected to the spine and an opposing second edge which is connected to flexible joint or fold-line. The book has a third cover having a first edge which is connected to the flexible joint, that couples the third cover to the back cover, and an opposing second edge which is connected to binding. The front cover is configured to fold back about the spine to retain the third cover proximal the second edge of the third cover to retain the book in a propped-up position for reading. A page holder slides along the left and right sides of the third cover and has an opening that allows a page to be pushed therethrough.

The invention provides a stack comprising a plurality of absorbent sheets stacked in facing arrangement. The stack is bound along its top edge by at least one line of stitches comprising a plurality of spaced apart stitch holes and a thread disposed therein. Individual sheets further comprise a line of perforations comprising a plurality of spaced apart perforation holes. The line of stitches and the line of perforations are such that there is generally a one-to-one numerical correspondence amongst at least a majority of the plurality of stitch holes and perforation holes.

The present invention relates to a flexible and durable bookbinding and to methods for making bound books. More specifically, the present invention relates to books that may withstand substantial and repeated perpendicular flexure along their spine. Among other advantages, these books demonstrate improved resistance to wear and tear and normal usage to remain intact.

Following, the light can be transmitted from the panel through the light transmission portion of the sheet such that the light can be viewable by a viewer of the sheet front surface.

A book is provided which comprises front and back covers (12,14) and a plurality of pages (16) bound between the covers. A plurality of the pages (16) each have an aperture (18) and the resulting plurality of apertures cooperate with the back cover (14) to define a recess (22) extending through the pages. The book further comprises a container (24) attached to the back cover (14) so as to be located in the recess (22). The book may have multiple recesses and associated containers.
