A photobook entitled “Vietnamese Women”, believed to be the world largest has appeared at the Hanoi Daewoo Hotel.

Speaking at a public ceremony on April 8, a representative from the Guinness World Record described the one-tonne book as the largest photobook in the world so far.

The 26 page, 4m x 3m photo album, features 56 works of Japanese photographer Hitomi Toyama, who came to Vietnam in 1993 and has since taken thousands of photos of the Vietnamese land and people.

The book will be exhibited in Hanoi in mid April and in Ho Chi Minh City in early May and presented to the Vietnam Photographers’ Association later.
