A word about hand held magnifiers. The power of magnification is directly related to the field of view so there are two facts you should understand when purchasing a magnifier.

1 - The higher the power, the smaller the area of magnification.
2 - The higher the power, the closer the lens needs to be to the object.

Consider these two facts when purchasing a magnifier. Sometimes, it might be best to have two lenses - one for reading and one for hobbies. Generally 2 or 3 power is a desirable magnification for reading.
