Celebrating FAHASA’s 50th Anniversary: FAHASA and Dong A Introduce Four Limited Edition and Four Deluxe Edition Publications

As part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation (FAHASA) (1976–2026) and its continued commitment to promoting reading culture while honoring the art of bookmaking, FAHASA, in collaboration with Dong A Books, organized a special book talk and launch event introducing four Limited Edition publications and four Deluxe Edition publications at 9:30 a.m. on July 26, 2026, at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore (387–389 Hai Ba Trung Street, Xuan Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City).

The event is one of the signature highlights in FAHASA’s 50th anniversary celebration series and further demonstrates the long-standing partnership between FAHASA and Dong A in bringing readers publications distinguished by literary value, artistic excellence, and outstanding craftsmanship.

Four Limited Edition Publications

Exclusive Editions for Book Lovers and Collectors

The centerpiece of the event was the launch of four Limited Edition publications:

• The Godfather
• The Tale of Kieu
• Luc Van Tien
• How the Steel Was Tempered

Each edition has been meticulously crafted to premium specifications, featuring cloth-bound hardcover binding, a clamshell presentation box, three-sided gold foil gilded edges, Dong A’s embossed “Limited Edition” seal, and full-color printing on 150 gsm Ford paper in a 25 × 30 cm large-format edition.

Only 500 individually numbered copies of each title have been produced, making these editions highly collectible and preserving their value for book enthusiasts. More than books to be read, each volume is conceived as a work of art, carefully designed to celebrate the enduring significance of these literary classics while commemorating the 50-year milestone of FAHASA.

Four Deluxe Edition Publications

Honoring Literary Classics Through the Art of Bookmaking

Alongside the Limited Edition series, FAHASA and Dong A also introduced four Deluxe Edition publications, making beautifully produced classic works accessible to a wider readership.

Each Deluxe Edition is presented in a 25 × 30 cm large format with a hardcover and dust jacket, while the interior is printed in full color on 150 gsm Ford paper.

• The Godfather features the acclaimed Vietnamese translation by Ngoc Thu Lang, complemented by 15 illustrations by artist Art Werger.
• The Tale of Kieu includes the scholarly annotations and commentary by Associate Professor Nguyen Thach Giang, accompanied by 16 illustrations by artist Dang Xuan Hoa.
• Luc Van Tien features annotations by Associate Professor Nguyen Thach Giang together with 19 illustrations by artist Nguyen Cong Hoan.
