User:Donald Trung/Books on Chinese numismatic charms

Different types of Chinese numismatic charms or "Yansheng coins" in Hội An, Vietnam.

I maintain this list 📃 to try and find books on Chinese numismatic charms and amulets to import to Wikimedia Commons, often these books are scattered, some are on Box 🥡 others on Google Books 📚 or CoinCoin, and others in private vendors, finding these books is hard enough but then I also have to check which book is in the public domain and which one isn't as the copyright rules are different from country to country.

• texts Annam: études numismatiques by Albert Schroeder. Publication date 1905. Not on Chinese charms and amulets, but don't know where else to list 📃. Quote from François Thierry "Essential work but ended with Dong Khanh/Thanh Thai currency; Mind to the bad American reprint that is not complete and in which all historical documentation part is missing ! In French." which means that there is an inferior American version in circulation.
