A Book From Every Country in Asia

Jack Edwards recently posted a video on his youtube channel about books from Asian countries. I really enjoyed it so decided to turn it into a list here. I included all the books he mentions but also recommendations from the comments bc he couldn't find any books for some of the countries. But of course, there might still be some missing that I'm not aware of.
Also I took 4 countries from his other video (A Book From Every Country in Europe) and put them here bc, in my opinion, they belong more to Asia than to Europe.
