Netherlands 2010 Book stamp




Issue date 9 March 2010

A very unusual postage stamp was issued by TNT Post in March 9 2010. This book stamp (3 by 4 cm) contains a short story by J. Zwagerman entitled "Wat is erger" ("What is worse").


In this story, Zwagerman leads us on an exciting and humorous journey through the thoughts of the main character, Jelmer Verhooff, the manager of a museum who has just seriously damaged one of the most precious paintings in the museum's collection. In this way Zwagerman literally makes the stamp a literary jewel.
