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."
After Word War II, the best flyers brought their versatility to the exacting role of test pilot. The Chosen Ones puts you in the cockpit with these pilots as they make whatever can go wrong with an aircraft go wrong before anyone else flies it. These are their gripping tales -- most told here for the first time -- of taking unproven prototypes into the air and of what happened in those heart-stopping moments when they succeeded.
