What are the better Chinese Cash books out there? Are there any that cover China, Korea, Japan and SE Asia?

Check out charm.ru for some advice on that.

I doubt that you will find one that covers all. The best text in English on Korean cash is Cast Coinage of Korea by Edgar Mandel. Copies of this appear on ebay from time to time. I like Ding Fubao's work on Chinese cash. It is probably the best that you can get in one volume. I don't know about Japanese cash though.....

There are a number of Korean books on Korean cash but they may not be so helpful if you don't read Korean. There are some good histories of Korean cash, again, written in Korean, but they are not catalogues that you can use to identify coins.

Here is a link for Annamese Cash that you might find useful.
