Hotze Wiersma rightfully calls himself a postal historian. He has several publications in his name and was coordinator and co-writer of the PEP books, Parts 1 and 2.
 
In the fragmented starting point of postal history in the Netherlands the comparatively powerful city set the rules and, in the Republic, that meant Amsterdam. Services for the rural population were for a long time unprofitable, and thus, absent. The development of postal services in rural areas of the Netherlands over a period of 270 years is exquisitely shown by Wiersma in a philatelic-scientific manner.
