The invention described herein is a portable desk board having upper and lower portions and two longitudinally spaced, flat-top working areas, with a receptacle for writing instruments and the like separating the working areas longitudinally. An elongated bookrest is arranged in the lower portion of the desk, and a pivot is provided for mounting the bookrest to the desk. The outer end of the bookrest may be selectively anchored in one of two positions on the desk board. The desk board includes a clamp along its upper portion to overlie each of the spaced working areas for clamping paper or the like in place over the respective working area, and a hand grip carrier is provided in the central upper portion of the desk board. A stand is provided for the desk board operable between open and closed positions and comprising a pair of arms with a flexible strap extending therebetween to provide a support for the desk when the stand is open and a carrier for the desk board when the stand is closed. A specially shaped board margin is provided for contact with the flexible strap to lock the strap against the board when the desk stand is not needed and to also provide a hand grip for carrying the board. An alternative form of the invention is also disclosed, having a differently constructed arm means on the desk stand, as well as other differences in construction.
