What is special about the miniature paintings of 20 years of Nha Nam ?

According to Nha Nam, each work in this set of 20 publications is carefully selected based on a number of basic criteria: the value of opening up knowledge and cultivating the book's lasting spirit; wide reception by readers; representative of each genre; having a prominent role in each stage of Nha Nam's development.

Nha Nam Selection Board also listens to and consults with editors, authors, translators and readers to have more basis for their selection decision.

The book series introduced by Nha Nam is a miniature picture of 20 years of Nha Nam's participation in publishing life. One thing worth noting is that the number of translated books in this series is larger than that of translated books.

The limited edition book series celebrating Nha Nam's 20th anniversary is produced in a special and limited edition format.

All 20 books are designed with a uniform hard cover, luxurious gold-plated, bringing a sophisticated and modern beauty while still retaining the unique mark of each work.

Each book title is released in 1,000 limited editions, numbered, stamped with Nha Nam's 20th anniversary seal and numbered from 1 to 999.

There are books that return with the old but more solemn cover appearance such as Tran Dan's poetry, Zarathustra spoke like that . Some books also have new cover designs, unlike the covers of the popular edition, such as Norwegian Wood , Slow down in the hurried world.

It is known that this book series was almost sold out by readers as soon as it was released. Especially the book Tran Dan's poetry was ordered by readers as soon as Nha Nam informed about it.
