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."
Do you know what hot hand and pine brother mean? If not, you will! Filled with multiple-choice questions, true-or-false quizzes, crosswords, word scrambles, and drawing games, this will test every young basketball fan's knowledge. Questions cover a wide range, allowing devoted hoopsters and curious rookies to earn big points while learning the difference between a lay-up and an alley-oop. Lively line drawings illustrate the text, and fun facts, jokes, and strange tales from the basketball world provide extra amusement.
