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."
Eating responsibly may mean including new and different foods in one’s diet, but it doesn't mean having to forgo flavor. A Good Catch incorporates the most responsible and delicious seafood choices into more than 90 mouthwatering recipes from celebrity chefs across Canada. The book begins with a brief introduction that explains what questions conscientious consumers should be asking about seafood and provides a quick-reference chart of recommended choices. But the heart of the book is the recipes. Featured are culinary delights such as Salmon and Edamame Salad with Wasabi Mayonnaise, Dungeness Crab Cake Benedicts with Chive Hollandaise Sauce, and Grilled Pacific Halibut with Charred Jalapeno-Honey Vinaigrette. Produced in conjunction with the David Suzuki Foundation, this elegant, easy-to-use cookbook is a must-have resource with sustainable suggestions and alternatives for conscious foodies.
