I'm a book author, and when I do book signings at bookstores or libraries, I often bring an 11-inch x 17 -inch poster of my book cover, mounted on foam board. Until I bought this wonderful product, Artskills Project & Poster Stand, I also had to lug a metal easel stand with me. Now I can just peel and stick the stand, and a little tab locks it in place.It's inexpensive, it's easy, it 's sturdy — and nobody thought of it until now. The packaging says that the manufacturer is a women-owned company. I'm guessing that moms who helped their kids with science fair exhibits thought up this ingenious product. However it came to be, I love it and congratulate the company for it. It has simplified my life. I only wish I'd known about it when my son was in middle school.
