A booklet receiving device (10) of simple construction receives passbooks or other booklets in an opened state without jamming. The receiving device (10) includes a booklet presser (22) and a container (12). The presser (22) is of pear-shaped configuration, and is formed by bending resilient sheet material, such as polyester film, into this configuration, the tapered end of the presser (22) being fixed. An opened booklet fed into the container (12) is guided along a side surface of the presser, pushing and changing the shape of presser (22) by its end, whereby the opened booklet is guided into a desired position in the container (12) without being caught at the central bending portion of a previously received booklet.
