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
Experience life as a park warden in Canada's national parks with Close Calls on High Walls, a moving memoir from a former warden.
The mountains beckon from behind their mantle of clouds.... So pick up your pack and take the Alpenstock in hand. Who knows, in one of those quiet valleys we may even find those candle-flame blazes, where that old Guardian wandered so many years ago.
Close Calls on High Walls captures the stories of park wardens with passion, insight and humour.
