Entering the main lobby of the fair, readers will see two big Typo printers from the war of resistance period, with letters neatly arranged behind, one paper cutting machine that was used by the National Library from 1917 and an old typewriter.

Besides printers are four large bronze-made poetry books (45 x 65 cm) which took sculptor Pham Van Hang and his students five years to finish the product. These books were recognized as a national record in 2007.
