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."
Explore the majestic beauty of the mountains with Canmore, Kananaskis and the Canadian Rockies, a vibrant photography book that provides a wonderful showcase of what it's like to live, work and play in this beautiful outdoor area. Pam Doyle's photographs depict people and wildlife enjoying this marvellous and spectacular wonderland along the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, and her scenic images give viewers a feel for the Bow Valley in all its glory.
