Brent (brently75) | 17 comments Since its original printing, this book has changed in title from "Taiwan FROM the Eyes of a Foreigner" to "Taiwan IN the Eyes of a Foreigner." I purchased my copy roughly six months ago and have seen nothing but *IN*.

Just to substantiate my claim, here are a few links:
(A cover shot) https://www.google.com.tw/search?q=ta...

Nick Kembel's own webpage about and based on the book and his related experiences in Taiwan (with the book cover image): http://www.taiwanforeigner.com/Taiwan...

The book listing on books.com.tw, Taiwan's largest book retailer (complete with book cover image): http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/boo...

And a book review, also including the cover image: http://www.thewildeast.net/2012/03/ta...

Lastly, while it's not a big deal, the book numbers 334 pages, not 333. Worldcat confirms this.

Like any new cover with the same ISBN, you can add an alternate cover edition with the new title. But the existing one gets left alone.

Retail sites cannot be used as sources for the new cover, but the author site can be.

Brent (brently75) | 17 comments It's not just the cover; the name itself changed.

The same guidelines still apply.
