To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation – FAHASA (1976–2026), and to continue bringing meaningful activities to the reading community, on June 13, 2026, FAHASA, in collaboration with Tre Publishing House, organized a meet-and-greet and book-signing event with author Nguyen Nhat Anh at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore in Ho Chi Minh City.
The event provided an opportunity for a large number of readers, especially those who have followed Nguyen Nhat Anh’s works over the years, to meet and interact with the author in person and receive autographs from one of the most beloved writers in contemporary Vietnamese literature.
Launch of the Hardcover Box Set “Nguyen Nhat Anh – From Books to Films”
A highlight of the program was the introduction of the hardcover box set “Nguyen Nhat Anh – From Books to Films,” a special edition created for readers who admire Nguyen Nhat Anh’s literary works and the film adaptations inspired by Vietnamese literature.
The box set includes four of the author’s most celebrated novels: Dreamy Eyes (Mat Biec), The Girl from Yesterday (Co Gai Den Tu Hom Qua), Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass (Toi Thay Hoa Vang Tren Co Xanh), and Once Upon a Love Story (Ngay Xua Co Mot Chuyen Tinh). These titles have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, captivated generations of readers, and have all been successfully adapted into feature films.
All four books are presented in hardcover editions featuring cover artwork inspired by their respective film adaptations. The box set comes in a sturdy and elegant collector’s case made from colored paper mounted on MDF board. It also includes exclusive collector’s gifts such as a premium canvas tote bag, bookmarks inserted in each book, and a printed shikishi board featuring Nguyen Nhat Anh.
Released in early June 2026, the box set is a special collaborative project between Tre Publishing House and FAHASA, commemorating the 45th anniversary of Tre Publishing House and the 50th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City Book Distribution Corporation – FAHASA (1976–2026).
Through this special publication, readers have the opportunity to revisit the journey of beloved Vietnamese literary works from page to screen while owning a unique collector’s edition that celebrates the intersection of literature and cinema.
From Books to Films: Honoring the Value of Books in the Cultural Industries
In recent years, cultural industries have gained increasing attention and have been recognized as one of the key drivers of socio-economic development. When discussing cultural industries, the public often thinks of cinema, performing arts, music, theater, or heritage preservation activities. However, books and publications serve as one of the most important foundations, providing source material, ideas, and content for many other creative and cultural sectors.
Numerous literary works have inspired adaptations into feature films, television series, stage productions, and various other art forms, helping expand their reach and impact among wider audiences.
The hardcover box set “Nguyen Nhat Anh – From Books to Films” is not only a special edition for book lovers but also a bridge between two ways of experiencing a story: reading and watching. Readers who have enjoyed both the original literary works and their film adaptations will have the opportunity to own a unique collector’s edition, allowing them to better appreciate the role of books as a vital foundation for the growth of today’s cultural industries.
Through this collection, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how literary works contribute to the creative ecosystem, demonstrating the enduring value of books as a source of inspiration that continues to shape and enrich contemporary culture.
Meet Author Nguyen Nhat Anh at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore
The event will take place from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on June 13, 2026, at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore, located at 387–389 Hai Ba Trung Street, Xuan Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. It offers readers and fans of Nguyen Nhat Anh’s works a unique opportunity to meet the author in person, receive autographs, and take commemorative photos with one of the most beloved writers in contemporary Vietnamese literature.
To celebrate the launch of the hardcover box set “Nguyen Nhat Anh – From Books to Films,” the book-signing session is reserved for the first 100 readers who own the box set (either purchased at the event or purchased previously) and arrive earliest at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore.
The program not only provides readers with the opportunity to own a special collector’s edition featuring literary works that have been successfully adapted into films, but also allows them to create lasting memories with author Nguyen Nhat Anh through this exclusive meet-and-greet and signing event.
