Bustling Tet books

The most anticipated are probably the Tet Book brand of Dong A and Tet Nibbles of Kim Dong Publishing House. Still composed of literary works, poetry, music, and paintings combined with nostalgic articles, these two publications bring a variety of emotions, from freshness, full of hope with the youthful energy and innocent perspective of children, to contemplation to prepare for an exciting new year of famous writers in the Vietnamese literary world.

Outstanding works of this year's Tet book season

Sharing with Thanh Nien , Ms. Tran Hoai Thu, editor of Dong A book brand, said: "Since 2019, when we started the project to revive Tet books, the market has also seen many other Tet book editions with diverse genres and styles suitable for each age group. I think this is a good sign because it has given readers many choices of "spiritual food" during Tet, helping generations of Vietnamese people have the opportunity to learn more about a traditional holiday of the nation. The appearance of Tet books will also help spread and promote traditional culture as well as reading culture of readers of all ages."

This year's Tet books leave their mark with youthfulness and creativity. Notable among them is the publication Tet Ba Mien (Three Regions ) by the young author and artist Le Rin. In each page of the book, he takes readers on a journey to discover the traditional Tet atmosphere of the three regions through humorous and funny drawings, suitable for young readers. In other publications, besides the veteran names, there is also the participation of young people, thereby conveying the message of balance as well as continuity.

In addition, we cannot fail to mention the works that record the traditional cultural features of our ancestors that have more or less faded away. These are publications that help young people understand more and more deeply the good meaning in each custom, thereby practicing it correctly, economically, and civilly in modern times. These include: Traditional Vietnamese Worship - Rituals and Rituals (Trung Chinh Quach Trong Tra), Family Genealogy, Family Prayers (Nguyen Manh Linh) ...

Talking about the purchasing power of the market, Ms. Thu shared: "Like every year, Dong A only prints the number of books exactly as the number of years. Starting from Ky Hoi 2019 with 2,019 books, this year there are only 2,025 publications, divided into 2 hardcover and paperback versions. After nearly 1 week of official release, the paperback Tet Book At Ty 2025 quickly sold out. This year's pre-order volume is very good, reaching nearly 1/3 of the total number of paperback releases. On January 1, 2025, within just 2 minutes of opening for sale, the hardcover version in a lacquer box also quickly sold out." This shows that the hobby of reading is gradually returning and is being welcomed more and more.
