Yosef Sa'ar forwarded this information about a new book on the telephone tokens of Asia. Thanks! -Editor

Telephone Tokens of Asia This Catalog of Telephone Tokens of Asia presents the most comprehensive description and full color photographs of known Asian phone tokens. It covers tokens from Cambodia, Ceylon, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Asian Part of Russia, Singapore, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam circulated from the early twentieth century until these countries’ phone companies introduced calling cards.

The catalog contains descriptions of more than 540 Asian telephone tokens from the authors collections and items provided by his fellow collectors from around the world. The catalog's most valuable feature is a well structured and consistent presentation that includes several physical parameters : diameter, thickness, weight, alignment and material the token was made from. The authors also includes the results of their research such as available historical data about issuing telephone companies and circulation patterns. (184 page,A4)
