HCM CITY (VNS)  — More than 35 collections of calendars for 2015 (the Year of the Goat) are on display at a Book and Calendar Week that opened at the weekend in HCM City.

They include many attractive designs showcasing Viet Nam and its people.

Highlights include seven-and five-sheet wall calendars with photos of the country's islands and waters, famous landscapes, handicraft villages, and traditional structures.

Calendar makers print a few hundred calendars in July and print more of those that sell well, according to Dai Nam Book and Calendar Company, one of the organisers of the event.

More than 1,000 Vietnamese and foreign books, comics, and magazines are also on display, with many being on sale at discounts of up to 40 per cent.

The event, at the Exhibition House, 92 Le Thanh Ton Street, District 1, will go on until September 21. — VNS
