You can slide your open book between the top and bottom sides of the legs (just behind the base of the original hanger that is now an angle). Just slide the book in there. You can bend your holder outward if it is a larger book or bend the hook if you want a different reading angle. Make it comfortable to your eyes!
Note: Because wire hangers are so hard to find nowadays, be sure to keep the holder after you make yours!

Thank you for this post. I have become the volunteer librarian for my son's small private school and I will try this to display some books.
