Oversized book display

Want to display the Phaidon book "The Art Museum", at 420 x 320 mm (16 1/2 x 12 5/8 in) and ~8kg/18lbs, on a coffee table.

I bought a $40 Taschen acrylic book stand but it broke under the weight.

RESULTS

So far, lots of expensive options.

I like the idea of Mindell Dubansky's book blankie:


Acrylic costs much less, but I'd prefer wood/metal.

Laughing at Google returning "Cradle of Filth", in search results.

Update: We went with a rolled up bath towel. Works great.
