I thought about how nice it would be for a cookbook stand after I wrote my comment, especially because it stores flat.  I've got about 8 feet of bookshelf just of cookbooks/recipes, plus card files full, not to mention what are saved on my computer . . . more than I can possibly "eat" in what's left of my lifetime!
