About BC Books Online
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."
Description
With a collector's eye trained to uncover the rare, the unusual and the finest examples of British Columbia's antique postcards, authors Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion have given readers an eclectic array of century-old photographs.
The images selected for this book—the authors' fifth for Heritage House—tell 80 distinct stories that capture British Columbia as it once was. Given the tremendous popularity of postcards in that era, these images no doubt took BC's raw beauty and frontier appeal out into the world, attracting an endless parade of tourists and immigrants to the province.
