I'm not sure what you mean by "V" shape, Anthony; the picture needs a 
perspective transformation as well as a rotation. In order to rotate 
without losing any of the image, you might increase the canvas size by 
three times, and then rotate it.  Following this step, a little 
perspective adjustment would rationalize the image, and then you could 
fill the background with the sky color. A little monkeying around with 
the corners of the book would then help.
