Ive broke my arm I want to read A Gimble is wot I need. It holds the pages back for me So that I can easily drink my tea Ode by Barbara GODKIN

Hi, have used the Gimble and it is great! Going on holiday shortly and this is definitely an essential. Thanks Tracy Fisher

Just received my Gimbles this morning. What service! And what a brilliant invention. I love reading in bed so this will be great. Now ........ if you could only invent an automatic page turner!! Many thanks, Sylvia Plummer, Derby

My Gimbles were a gift from my sister in Bedford. I have Multiple Sclerosis which impairs my ability to hold a book, the alternative was audio books but I love the act of reading myself so audios weren't for me Now I can hold a book in my one reasonably able hand and even turn the page without the frustration of constantly losing my place. So thank you for restoring my pleasure in reading. I already thanked my sister - often. Sincerely Christine Griggs, Cowichan Bay, British Columbia, Canada

Thank you for my ace gimble its a brilliant invention./ thankyou for my brill book holders now I can read whilst itching my shoulders thanks again. - Jess aged 9

Mike, In reply to your question as to where I heard of the gimble? It was from my mother. She read of it in the Yours magazine and asked me to order it from your web site. I thought it was such a good idea, as reading a lot of paper back, I get very frustrated by them not staying open. I decided to order a set for myself as well. I shall surely tell others about your devise. Yours sincerely, Susan Hemmings. P.S. My mother intends to pass on the snippet from the Yours magazine to her local mobile library.

Dear Mike Thank you for the prompt supply of my order. I have difficulty sleeping and usually read lying down and when I doze off of course I lose my place! Your gadget has already proved a success and I am delighted with it. Many thanks Mrs Ann Dowman

You asked how I heard about your great Gimble (which I'm now using and enjoying reading without holding onto the pages of unwieldy paperbacks - wonderful!). In a magazine called Arthritis Today a letter from Ann Timbury of Taunton described your Gimble. This magazine is published by arc - The Arthritis Research Campaign - and I am a volunteer in my area, raising money for this research. I shall pass on the good news of the Gimble to my volunteer colleagues and to the members of our Branch - Polegate & Eastbourne. With thanks for thinking up this simple but so effective means of reading more enjoyably! Sonia Cooke

Thank you for filling my order so promptly. I read your advertisemenmt in Choice magazine, and I am very glad I did so, such a simple idea and so effective. Once again than k you Richard Plummer

Just to let you know my mother is extremely pleased with Gimble. She said it is ideal for bed time reading, although it works better with a thicker book.Ê Regards Karen Maggs

Hello Mike I am very pleased with my gimble. I use it every day. Best wishes Angela Wilson

Dear Mr. Drage I have recieved the Gimble and find it very satisfactory especially on Hardbacks, Some Paperbacks are a bit small for it. Hope It does well for you, It's a great idea. Yours Beryl E Langton

Dear Mike, Got my package this morning They are Perfect being i have poorly hands and holding a heavy book in bed is no fun this is just the job...I also use it on my computer for holding my Any Thing you can do on a computer Book...I am 73yrs young thankyou so much..I passed your name onto a pal Joan Thornton in Putney I believe she has ordered from you..am tell more pals now Best of luck in the future Dorothy

Hiya. you asked if I would email you when I received my Gimble and let you know what I thought of them. I haven't actually tried them yet but from what I can see they are well made and simple to use. I can see that they would do exactly what it says on the tin - to borrow a well known expression - without interfering with the actual reading of the book. I am impressed and will be ordering another one through the post, using the voucher, as a present for a friend. Thank you. It was a friend of mine who told me about it and I will be telling friends of mine. Very good. Joan Thornton

Mike wanted to let you know that my wife is delighted with the Gimble. Shes been using it on paperbacks for a while now and its made a tremendous difference. I generally put the book in the Gimble as she does find it difficult to put on herself, due to the condition of her hands but once its on she can comfortably read and enjoy her books. Additionally, she uses, and would recommend, the tip she read about leaving a few of the next pages out of the Gimble theyre easy to tuck in and it saves having to manipulate each page out of the right-hand side. Many thanks hope things are working out well for you in your business. Regards John Riches

Dear Mike Drage, Thanks for sending the 'Gimbles' which arrived the day after the e-mail. My wife is finding them 'just the thing - makes reading in bed a lot easier since she does not need both hands on the book. One suggestion though, would it be possible make the indication of 'left' and 'right' moulded into the arms a little more visible, we have only just found them, after using the 'Gimbles, for over a week! Regards, Keith Newman.

Hi Mike, I bought two for my wife who has bad arthritis and she has found it very useful and she is using it all the time. It is an excellent invention, we wish you well and hope you reap the benefits that you deserve. Derek Ansell

Thank you for the very fast service in supplying the Gimble. I received it this morning and have already tried it out. Not only can I now read and eat at the same time but I can also knit and read at the same time. Thank you once again. Sue Eames (Miss)

Thank you so much for sending the gimbles so quickly. These are far more manageable than pegs and elastic bands I have been struggling with. I will certainly recommend them to our Arthritis Care Support Group. Why hasnt anyone thought of this before?! Regards June Atkinson - Stockton on Tees

Having suffered from arthritis for many years to a point my wrist is strapped this is a god send, it removes all the strain on my joints and makes reading pleasurable again. Thanks Jack Grouby - Melbourne

Thank you so much for the prompt delovery of my Gimble they are a wonderful gadget! I have two very dear friends with arthritic hands and carpal tunnel syndrome (like me) I would like to give them one each. Two more packs please Sincerely Mrs P Nicol - Bounemouth

Thank you for sending me the Gimbles! I ahve Osteoarthritis in many joints and have found both sizes of the Gimble very helpful when reading paperback books. Not having to hold the books open whilst reading reduces the pain in my wrists and thumbs and therefor increases the pleasure and enjoyment of reading. Where ever I am with a book my Gimble is with me as well. I am putting pen to paper as I feel there are so many people who could find the Gimble invaluable. It adds to the pleasure of reading by making it easier and less painful. Again many thanks for the Gimble my reading book and Gimble are inexpendable now! Regards Ann Timbury - Somerset

I would like to thank you, for sending my Gimbles. I am so pleased, with it & it holds the pages down. I think its wonderful, & I will certainly recomend it. I wish you lots of luck, with your invention, & would be interested, to receive details of any accessories Many Thanks Marjorrie Lee - Wirral

The simplest ideas are always the best Yours sincerely Lesley Huckerby - Nottingham

Thank you for the promt dispatch of your Gimbles. I really appreciate a simple, ingenious idea that works! I shall take it with me when I go into hospital; you never, someone may also see how great is your invention! Here as promised, a photo of your excellent Gimble in use. I am finding it most useful & it is a good price too! I wish you every success Regards Anthea Cole - Plymouth

Please could you send ma another two packs of your Gimbles. My daughter is finding hers very useful Thank you Ann Scoggie - Carlise

Thank you for Gimbles recieved today enclosed is a cheque for them, I wish you all the best for your invention & thankyou again for your trust in people Yours faithfully Murial Holden - Chislehurst

It was very kind of you to say, you would send your Gimbles before recieving my cheque. It sounds to me, that it is the gadget I have wanted for years, it realy is so annoying not to be able to hold a book open. PS My goodness what service it arrived this morning, I havent had time to try it ! Sincerely Pam Scott - Southgate

How great to be able to read and eat at the same time, without having to prop pages with all sorts of things. Please send me Gimbles as advertsised in Yours magazine This is something I hoped would be made one day and her it is produced just 10 miles from where I live! A lovely surprise. Do you have a shop because I might need some for a friend

Thank you for the very fast service in supplying the Gimble. I received it this morning and have already tried it out. Not only can I now read and eat at the same time but I can also knit and read at the same time. Thank you once again. Sue Eames (Miss)

Having used my Gimble for most of March now, I've come to the conclusion that it should have been invented many years ago. It's a wonderful thing and I now enjoy reading in bed again, with the book in my control. Now if you could only persuade my husband to hold the book for me and turn the pages when needed, I'd be able to keep totally warm under the covers. The Reader Cushion looks good, can you let me know when it is available? Many thanks for a wonderful invention Love Anne

I received the Gimbles I had ordered from you testerday and already wondered how I managed without one. It is just what I always wished to have - what a brilliant invention. No more cold arms when readig in bed, or cookery books having to be weighted down with tins of food or something similar to stp them folding up all the time. I can also eat my lunch using both hands while reading my book which is absolutey great

Recieved package Sat am so thanks for prompt despatch. I am really pleased with the Gimble I can now read in bed hold the book by the corner and keep my shoulders under cover and if I nod off I don't lose my place when I drop the book!! It is true that the simplest designs are often the most effective. You just need to invent a page turner now Regards J Dean

At last I have got around to replying to you. I think the Gimbles are a brilliant idea. Have you thought about marketing them at the airports as I shall certainly be using mine when I go on holiday. I think they are ideal for lying on your stomach on a sunbed and having the book on the ground without trying to hold the pages open what do you think? Also very useful on the plane. Hope all goes well. Sue Thomsen

Thank you. Just to let you know that we have been using our gimbles for a couple of days now and are very pleased with them. My husband is especially delighted, so congrats on invention. Best Wishes Sue Williams.

Thanks, all safely received. I am glad of the lightweight construction as my primary intention is to take it/them on holiday ,or out when I know I will be eating alone - no more one handed eating and losing my page. Hurrah. Many thanks Rosalind Syers

Thankyou for your very prompt delivery. I am using the smaller gimble and find it very useful Many thanx

Thanks Mike we are doing pretty well with our Gimbles except both were reading very thick paper backs at first with which they didnt work. Fine with "normal " size though. The best ideas are usually the simple ones! Congratulations! We may be back to order for gifts for friends later. Best Wishes Anthea Pile

I had heard of gimbles through a friend - and on her comments decided I'd recommend you to my good friend, Theresa Coe, editor of Interaction. I understnad you've sorted out some sort of promotion now. I received my own gimbles last week, and as you ask for comments just wanted to say: in general very good idea/design..BUT i find it very frustrating that they block out an entire line of text when you use them... and mine keep slipping off the bottom of hte book...and also because i'm disabled and read large print books alot, they're often hardback. Could you design a bigger one for those?!Thanks, Katie

Thank you for your speedy delivery of my set of Gimbles, they are every bit as clever as described in your advert

Thank you for the Gimbles for myself and my sister - we both are very pleased with them great for hands free reading in bed - keeping the page open when I fall asleep your sincerely Mrs Ling

I am realy delighted with my Gimble a friend saw me with mine and naturally wanted it - NO Way Mrs White

I purchsed my Gimbles from you a few weeks ago and I must tell you how wonderful I think they are. I have severe arthritis in my hands and holding a book open was very painful and spoiled my pleasure in reading No more Thank you for inventing it your faithfully J Watts

Thank you so much for sending me the Gimbles they are very good Especially as I have Athritis in both hands I read alot. Sorry not to have written to you before but I have also chronic back pain & tyrapped nerve in knee. The weather hasn't been conducive so I have been in a lot of pain recently. Once again thank you for the Gimbles, you might yet get a photo of me using theam yours sincerely Mrs Jones.

Would you please send me another set of Gimbles for a friend, they're a brilliant idea your faithfully Miss Dugind

Would you please send me another pair of Gimbles. I have been using mine since I received them in Decemeber and have found them to be a wonderful gadget and I really now enjoy hands free reading - I wouldn't be without mu Gimble now, a really clever invention your sincerely M Gregory.

Thank you for sending me my set of Gimbles I have found them very usefull and easy to use. I should be obliged if you send me another 5 sets so I can spread the word to family and friends yours sincerely L Smith

My friend orderd me a pair of Gimbles as a thank you for a weeks stay with me. I am so impressed with them - an absolute brilliant invention. It's not only myself that is impressed but my husband and two friends, so I would like to order 3 more Gimbles as my treat to theme please, congratulations once again and good luck Barbara Simms

What a clever man I love them, so am treating my friend to a pair. Am interested in any other products your sincererly V Lubly

Sir Thank you for sending the Gimbles so quickly. I amvery impressed with this invention, so simple, so effective, so nest, so light in weight, easy to apply and a good colour and the price is right. You can see I am very pleased with my Gimbles. I have athritis in both hands I have tried - elastic bands and other grips that were most difficult to apply and use.I live in a retirement appartment and several people living here have been interested in your invention and the leaflet i have pinned on the notice board

I had previously ordered 2 pairs one for myself and one for my daughter in-law. e are both delighted with them and find them a great success especially for keeping recipe books open Many Thanks Glenys Martin

Just a short note to say how pleased I am with the Gibles I bought from you recently. They arrived very quickly and are very usefulboth for myself and my friend who is in her 80's. Using the device has ment that I can enjoy reading my book without getting a sore hand (it is receovering from damage sustained during a dog attack in june and tires easily) Thank you for creating such a useful device and may I wish you all the very best with any future inventions. I especially like the idea of beind able to recycle the packaging as so much gets wasted needlessly. Annette Marshall

Dear Mike, thank you for the speedy service. I have now been using the Gimbles for several days and they are as good and useful as I hoped they would be! I have arthritis in my hands and this is such a help - I can read in bed much more comfortably and haven't dropped a book on my nose for days! Well done a simple but very effective invention. My best wishes for your continuing success, Maggie Pettitt

Hi Mike,Thanks for your very speedy delivery, the Gimble looks great, I have just tried it out on a book, best thing since sliced bread as they say!!!! I have very painful arthritis in my wrists and hands and when I think how I have struggled all these years.............I am sure reading is going to be a real pleasure now. Many many thanks Carolyn Wright

Thanks for the Gimbles! I have arthritis in my hands & find that holding a book open increases the pain. The Gimble certainly helps!! I mostly read in bed so, unfortunately cannot have the book free-standing but at least I now don't have to keep my thumb in the book. All I need now is something that works for magazines! Lesley Ragg

Dear Friend Thank you for the Gimble I ordered, a great asset also pleased to assist with the recycling a great idea your sincerely Mrs Jude

Delghted with my first purchase an absolute boom as I recently broke my arm and reading paperbacks was a real challenge. Now my young grandson - an avid reader at 7 years - is most envious! This set is for him! many thanks Beryl Jones
