Book display method and apparatus

A book display apparatus to display a book at a wall location, said apparatus comprising a separate case component in which the book can be positioned, and a separate bracket component which can be connected to a wall member and to which the case component can be mounted in a book display position on the wall member, said apparatus comprising:

• a) said case component having a generally planar transparent front panel through which the book can be viewed, and at least upper and lower perimeter members connected to, respectively, upper and lower perimeter portions of the front panel and extending rearwardly therefrom, said front panel and said two perimeter portions collectively defining a book-receiving region having vertical and lateral dimensions sufficiently large to enable a book to be positioned therein in a display location adjacent to the front panel;
• b) said bracket component comprising:
• i. a base member having a connecting portion by which the bracket component can be connected to a wall member;
• ii. a biasing section to engage the book and urge the book in a forward direction;
• c) a mounting system comprising a case-mounting portion of the case component and a bracket mounting portion of the bracket component, which mounting portions are arranged to engage one another in mounting relationship by which, with the bracket component connected to the wall member, the case component is able to be removably mounted to the bracket component in said book display position adjacent to the wall member;
• d) said case component being arranged in a manner that a rear portion of the case component has, at a location immediately rearwardly of the book-receiving region, a substantially open rear area, so that with the case component removed from its book display position where it is mounted to the wall member, the book can be moved through the rear open area of the chamber component into or from its display location in the book-receiving region;
• e) said case component and said bracket component also being arranged so that with the bracket component being connected to the wall member, and with the book positioned in the display location in the case component, the case component with the book therein can be moved to the bracket component, with the two mounting portions coming into mounting relationship to support the book component positioned in the book display position, with the book being supported by the lower perimeter member of the case component and with the book being positioned to be urged forward by the biasing section of the bracket component to be adjacent to the front panel.
