This is why I think, we should create more Free ebooks for people to read on the subject. I think people like Andreas Antonopoulos gets it, and he provides his older books for free on the internet. Once these books are 1 or 2 years old, most of the information is outdated in any way.

Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to cash in on the new technology, but they give nothing back to increase adoption.

Not sure if this book is the same as "The age of cryptocurrency", but the cover is different, and the title is different: https://i2.wp.com/www.pressandjournal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/02/yl-book-crypto.jpg

"Cryptocurrency" by Paul Vigna and Michael Casey. I have picked up this book a few months ago from my local library, had a read of it myself. Has a few chapters about the community, history etc. Also has a chapter or two directly dedicated to describing blockchain technology.

Hope this helps

It certainly does, thanks for the pointer.

William Mougayar's recent work and Andreas Antonopoulos' primer for non-tech folks is the best in class out there right now

Blockchain revolution sounds like a particularly interesting read. The authors did an Iama here - https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4j100c/we_are_the_fatherson_coauthors_of_blockchain/

Great collection of books, thanks. As for translation purposes, I will tell you my experience. I have translated some books into Spanish (not bitcoin related, but fitness) and made them available to authors/publishers with no charge for them to publish. They have never done that. Probably not profitable for them.

I am quite a book worm, and would recommend this, if you interested :

~ Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin Is Changing Money, Business, and the World by Don Tapscott (Author), Alex Tapscott
~ Ebook: Blockchain Technology (Fintech Series by Innovation Edge) Kindle Edition by BBVA Innovation Center (Author, Editor)

Most of them are available on Amazon, but you have to contact the author / publisher, if you want to translate it. Roll Eyes

There are many whitepapers, not so sure about published "books".

By "published books", I refer to those blockchain books that will be translated and published in China, following traditional copyright protocols.

We are well connected with press house in China. Recently we are approached by them as there are increasing demand for the keyword "blockchain".

I have seen quite a number of altchoin whitepapers. In fact we have collected and stored over 500 articles on our site: http://8btc.com/doc-doc.html, both in Chinese and in English.
Could you name some whitepapers that are worthy of translation?
