The term illustrated book refers to a book which contains images. An illustrated book can contain various different types of images such as, photography, paintings and drawings. However, illustrated books are not limited to these types of art. As long as the book features images, the manner or form in which these images are shown is completely interchangeable.

The quality that each of these books has in common is that not only does it feature images, but, unlike text-only books, illustrated books aren't necessarily made to consistently go back to, but rather be flipped through selectively.

On the other hand, if they are horizontal they look similar to landscapes. This design decision is entirely dependent on which looks better for said image. This decision is also influenced by how the book itself will be held. Some illustrated books may be simply held by hand or laid out on a table, while others are much larger requiring two hands or to not be held at all. [1]
