Yes it's the correct orientation for book spines, but the words are still right to left so it reads "Library Public Fullerton". Easily could have been fixed by switching them around and moving them to the left side of the card. Could also make the books progressively smaller so the angle leads the eye in the right direction, or add some shapes to the spine that direct the eye. He's kind of done that with the lean but it still feels wrong when reading it. Would be even better if he stacked the books with the text vertically instead imo.

And the one that's not clearly designed by a young girl.

Nothing against that, beyond the fact they're selecting for the broadest appeal possible. He's right, he dominated, but mostly by understanding the audience.
