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 day trip for every weekend of the year to destinations throughout the lower mainland, from Delta to Whistler, Hope to Bowen Island, from an experienced adventurer.
Through his popular guidebooks and media appearances, Jack Christie has helped countless Vancouverites and visitors alike appreciate the renowned natural beauty and diverse recreational opportunities of the Pacific Northwest since the 1980s. From the first time he decided to pull together his favorite day trips from Vancouver into a single book, a success story was born. Now fully revised and updated, including five all-new trips and an exploration of all new regions and parks, 52 Best Day Trips will enrich the west coast experience for many new adventurers.
The best views, biking, beaches, and outings for kids-they're all here, described in the clear, upbeat, observant prose that is Jack's trademark. From Delta to Whistler, West Vancouver to Maple Ridge, detailed directions (including driving distances and times) and custom maps and indexes help you find your way and enjoy the sights en route.
