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."
The Border Guide is the definitive guide to cross-border financial planning for who either live in the U.S. seasonally or all year round. It also includes useful information for U.S. citizens living or just investing in Canada. Many Canadians incorrectly assume that the laws governing investment, taxation, and immigration are the same in the U.S. as they are in Canada. This easy-tofollow guide can help anyone transact their crossborder business affairs with confidence. • Avoid getting caught by fluctuations in Canadian currency • Qualify for old-age and social security benefits on both sides of the border • Get the best from both the Canadian and U.S. medical systems • Buy a retirement home and deduct the mortgage interest from your Canadian tax return • Receive your Canadian pensions in the U.S.—almost tax free! This updated edition includes extensive new information on the Canada/U.S. Tax Treaty, new border issues since 9/11, and many small regulatory changes.
