The book cover has been consistent since the Van Moi edition in the first five years of the century , showing the multifaceted, multi-colored nature of a large collection. The front and back covers are multi-colored squares, looking like a chessboard but also multi-colored windows, from which one can see the faces of contemporary writers: 41 authors from the North - Central - South and also authors of Vietnamese origin living abroad.
