htaccess URL Rewrite for products doesn't redirect me

There is plenty of information out there but nothing I've read on the interwebz has given me an answer as to why my htaccess is not working.

I cannot determine why my rule isn't rewriting the URL as I thought it would. I have the following url:

domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123&bookName=foo_bar

I would like to change it so that when someone hits that URL, it shows like:

domain.com/Book/123/foo_bar

I started off trying to get it to work using just the Book ID and haven't even gotten that to work.

This is what I have thus far: 

RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$    /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2

However, after placing that htaccess in the root of the site and going to the URL: 

domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123

The URL in the address bar remains the same.

try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123 or domain.com/Book/123/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123/title or domain.com/Book/123/title/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/([a-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$1&bookName=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

Try adding [L,R=301] at the end of the line:

RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,R=301]
