About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

A practical guide to dealing with dementia by one of the world’s leading experts.
Around the world, almost 50 million people have dementia, and hundreds of millions of people are affected by the dementia of loved ones.

Packed with practical tips for providing what people with dementia or Alzheimer’s want and need, this guide will help ensure that they can stay well and happy as long as possible.
Editorial Reviews
"The value of this book is apparent from Chapter 1, and in particular the offering of scenarios and how difficult they are for both patient and family. You might know intellectually that your demented mother will one day forget who you are, but it’s quite another to actually experience this – so much more difficult than you imagined. You must be prepared for it, and this book helps you do exactly that." —Jay Ingram
