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."
David Milne (1882-1953) has long been recognized as one of Canada's most innovative painters. Although major exhibitions have been devoted to his paintings and prints, his brilliant watercolours, arguably his most beautiful and important works, have never before been revealed in depth.
This lavishly illustrated book, which features essays and an annotated chronology by six Milne experts who consider the artist from international and Canadian perspectives, will accompany the first major exhibition of his work in any medium to travel outside Canada.
Contributors to the book include: John O'Brian, Dennis Reid, David P. Silcox, Rosemarie LeSueur Tovell and Carol Troyen.
This book was published in partnership with the Art Gallery of Ontario.
