The photographers including Nguyen Minh Duc, Nguyen Hoang Nam, Huynh Thu, Doan Quang and Huynh Minh Khanh told stories about Saigon in an unpretentious way, thus allowing viewers to experience the southern city from a different perspective.

Saigon Zoom In is the first magazine-style book to provide tips about HCMC for tourists who want to explore the city in a convenient and inexpensive way. The book features some 40 maps and 400 photos of Saigon by both local and foreign authors.

It won the book design category of the 2014 American Graphic Design Awards.
