Hook a Book

Step 5 Mount the hook and then the book

I used an Automatic Center Punch to mark the points for the mounting holes in the hook and door. You can also use a larger hand held center punch to set the shape of the hook mounting holes to the recess angle needed by a flat head screw. Doing so will help bring the book closer to the wall, door or mounting plaque to make a tighter fit.

If you do not use magnets in some form to hold the covers against the book then tie a length of clear monofilliment around the book to hold the covers closed. (You can also use a large clear rubber band.)
