Step 11Mount the book
Have some twine or a set of small bungee cords ready to hold the book closed. You will need to do this unless your have a helper until the monofilliment is tied.
Readjust the hanger rod ends to create a 1/20 head and 19/20 tail extension as shown in the photo and hang the hanger loop on the hook.
Begin sliding the book up the wall while closing the book. Take up any slack in the hanger rod and loop as you persuade the hanger rod to slide back to its original 1/3 head and 2/3 tail division. This can be very, very tricky and can take a lot of patients and time, which may require you to consider using monofilliment line for the entire hanger. For heavy books you can double or triple the strands of monofilliment to make up for removing the strength of the wire.
Allow the book covers, hanger rod and loop to slowly take up the weight of the book as the book is being closed.
Once the book is closed raise and lower the book slightly to "seat" it more securely on the hook and take up any final slack from hanger relocation.
If you can't close the book then start over using a longer hanger loop. Your goal here is for the hanger rod and loop to be long and loose enough when readjusted for the book to close but short and tight enough for the hook to be hidden.
When the book can be closed and the hook hidden use twine or small bungee cord to temporarily hold the book closed.
