  • Designer Niels Schrader was pleased that PostNL shared his idea of the book landscape. β€œIn this design, the books are spread out horizontally, photographed from different angles. For example, there are photographs of books which are open, or with the front or back cover showing, or only the spine of the book. This creates a landscape of books if you view them from above. We now call that a bookscape,” says Schrader.
