How can I move and place items properly?

Question

In Skyrim, is there a more convenient way to place items around instead of holding e, and trying to fidget them in the right direction?

Say I have a book, and I want align it on top of the desk like this:

+-----------------------------+
|                             |
|                  +-------+  |
|                  | book ||  |
|                  |  of  ||  |
|                  | lolz ||  |
|                  +______||  |
|                             |
+-----------------------------+

What is the easiest way of doing this?

Answer

I haven't tried it, but I found these commands:

GetPos <axis>
SetPos <axis> <value>
GetAngle <axis>
SetAngle <axis> <value>

with explanations near the bottom of this page that might help.
