The Vietnam version of "Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture: Mid-century Vernacular Modernism" is now in bookstores

Thế Giới Publishers of Hanoi has released the Vietnam version of the book and it is now in Hanoi bookstores. It should be in Ho Chi Minh City bookstores next week.

Updating the "Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture" int'l version availability

We are giving up on amazon.com in America as a source for our book, "Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture: Mid-century Vernacular Modernism," published by Architecture Vietnam Books for international distribution. The book is currently on amazon.com through a third-party vendor that is offering it as a "used book" for a price that is 54% higher than the list price! But you may find a different price if you go there, given how their algorithm works.

We recommend barnesandnoble.com in the USA, as well as several online bookstores including alibris.com and abebooks.com. It is also available at international online stores including amazon.ca in Canada, amazon.com.au in Australia, amazon.co.uk, amazon.fr in France, amazon.de in Germany, bookdepository.com in the UK, and booktopia.com.au in Australia. The ISBN number is 9780578516585. All of these links should take you directly to the book.

The international version is a print-on-demand 8-1/2"-square format full-color trade paperback, which is ideal for featuring Alexandre Garel's superb architectural photography. That means that if you order it at an online bookstore, it will then be printed by IngramSpark at one of their worldwide printing plants and shipped by them to you.

We will post an announcement shortly about the availability of the separate version of this book (in black-and-white) that has been published by Thế Giới Publishers of Hanoi for distribution in Vietnam.

The international version of "Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture" is published

Photographer Alexandre Garel and Author Mel Schenck are proud to announce that "Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture" has been published in America for international distribution. It is currently available on Barnes & Noble as well as several online bookstores. It isn’t up on Amazon.com yet, but we keep hoping it will pop up any time now. It is also available at several international online stores including Amazon Australia. The ISBN number is 978-0-578-51658-5.

This book is a print-on-demand 8-1/2"-square format full-color trade paperback. That means that if you order it at an online bookstore, it will then be printed by IngramSpark and shipped by them to you. This book will also be available through Ingram at retail bookstores and libraries, assuming they decide to carry such a small-niche book.

Our friends in Vietnam should wait a couple of weeks when a separate version of this book (in black-and-white) will be published by Thế Giới Publishers of Hanoi for distribution only in Vietnam.
