The Forest In Folklore And Mythology by Alexander Porteous

As far as books go, the stories within its pages are plentiful but are so plentiful it'll be necessary to read through the book several times to help remember everything brought up in the book. Regardless of that this book makes for a great read due to its content, is right to the point to stating what the title says it's about and can make for a great book for someone who loves reading on folklore.

The Flood Myths of Early China by Mark Edward Lewis

As far as books go the author has done fantastically to make this one as academic as possible and the approach is well appreciated. The book is relatively short and a huge chunk of it is end notes which I imagine may annoy some people, but all the references to Chinese books within the book itself makes this book alone a great place to begin if you wish to know which ancient Chinese books to go to to read. 

On the subject matter itself the book proves to be a good starting point to learn some Chinese mythology, even if this is an obvious case of only being a small portion of the whole. Mixed in with the previously mentioned short length, this book makes for a great way to be showered with information and further personal interest in Chinese mythology and religion with the references books within its pages.

The Tao of Craft: Fu Talismans and Casing Sigils in the Eastern Esoteric Tradition by Benebell Wen

With all the Daoist texts translated into English and what is written about the religion there is a certain lack of books in English about the talismans done within the religious tradition. This book fixes that and with great detail, making it hard not to recommend.

Lengthy, lovingly filled with information and useful to those beginning in talismans this very book is one that should be read by those even just interested in Daoism as a religion.

Alchemists, Mediums And Magicians: Stories of Taoist Mystics (Translated And Edited By Thomas Cleary)

Categorised by time periods the people lived in, the book is filled with supposed immortals through China's history and makes for a worthwhile read on those who are knowledgable on the Taoist classics. The book makes note of the many stories of supposed immortals over the years.

Clarity And Tranquility: A Glide fo Daoist Meditation by Stuart Alve Olson

If you're into meditation, pick up this book. It is detailed on how to the Daoist styled mediation, but that is at the end of the book. Before that there is plenty of writing that is best understood if you already have knowledge on Daoist terms and will likely be most interesting to those who are more serious practitioners of the Dao.
 Reading the whole book can be worthwhile to the more casual reader trying to learn the meditation style presented but just sticking on the guide on how to do the meditative practices may be best to certain peoples.
