Good sugestion and might be the reason why John Gardners photo is not
perfectly aligned. Church benches are normaly to the left and right, but
not in the center of the church.
Instead of prayer books one might use a small "desktop" tripod, like the
Leica one, the Minolta TR1, the Manfroto 209/210, Hakuba or Cullman
Magic. Very small light weight, I carry one, all the time in the photo
bag.
A bean bag might be usefull too, but it´s more dificult to align the
camera with it.
Regards
Richard
