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."
Archaeologist, historian, museum director, educator, curator, explorer, occasional journalist, television host and consummate storyteller James Delgado has spent much of his life in pursuit of the past...and a good tale. His passion for the past is more than academic. He lives to touch the past, to go where few have gone before. As a Sea Hunter and host, along with novelist Clive Cussler of the National Geographic International television series, Delgado searches for, discovers and explores some of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. Melding history with archaeology to bring life to his discoveries, Delgado has created a highly entertaining, personal account of the exploration of the sea and the past that rests beneath the waves.
