Looking for a Field Guide to Taiwan's Fauna and Flora.

Taiwan Where Can I Find...?
1

Hi all,

I’m looking for a decent Field Guide for the animals of Taiwan. I could also use one for plants and trees. if not a genuine field guide, then possibly a coffee table book with good pictures of the animals to be found on the island.

Thanks for the help. Cheers.

These guys make good books, in Chinese though. I use their “city bird guide” all the time. It has common English and Latin names and great illustrations, so does 80% of what it’s supposed to do right there even if you can’t read Chinese.

We have a proper bird guide in Chinese, that helps us settle disputes when we write articles about birds. It is quite small and portable, and i am told, authoritative. But it is in Chinese.

EDIT: I think it is this one
