Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim this past week visited Hanoi’s Book Street, as part of a 2-day visit to Vietnam
Anwar’s visit is noteworthy for finding time in such a short visit to see first-hand one of SE Asia’s most fascinating publishing phenomena, a Book Street.
Regulars at TNPS will be no strangers to the Book Street phenomenon –
But for those that are, Malaysia’s Daily Express sums it up succinctly:
“The 200m-long Book Street was opened in 2017 and currently comprises 16 bookstores, including shops of famous publishers and book companies with local and international authors. Apart from bookstores, the street is also beautifully designed with greenery as well as cultural space and a café for visitors to rest after searching for good books.”
