Have you considered buying it in bulk, and then selling it here on the forum (for a profit, of course)?
No not really because it is all in chinese :mellow: but i know there are some members here able to read chinese will enjoy the book, not looking to make profit just want to share. If there are many interested in the book i can ask if it is possible to buy in bulk and send it all in one shipment so everyone can share shipping fee. I don't know how much exactly it is but the retail price on the book shows 150NTD which is like $5.
 
I'd TOTALLY pay twice that much for a book with good pictures, and text I can't read. That's pretty much every book I buy, anyway! (I really need to get glasses).

In other words, if you DO buy them, but me down for one or two.

I just have a better look at the book moment ago. While half of the book present different species of mantis, the other half of the book talks about other mantis behaviour, habitat, molting, etc

mantis anatomy and ootheca

So not everything in the book is about presenting different species of mantis, but for the species page it gives physical appearance, behaviour, and habitat for the particular species.

Let me check if my friend can ship the book in bulk or not.

 
I'm cracking up right now as i have a few books thanks to my wife she translates the Asian parts bit after 5 min she looks at me and tells me I'm sorry i just can't read about a bug lol but i have found that I'n many of these Asian books the photos are incredible i still am giggling over agent A ( that's me I'n the morning ) but would love to own the book I'm searching as i type now lol
