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."
One of the most sought-out cruising areas of the Pacific Northwest, the protected waters of Desolation Sound and the surrounding network of the Discovery Islands are world-famous for their pristine and spectacular natural beauty.

With over 100 revised charts and new information alongside stunning colour photographs, this completely updated edition provides detailed knowledge of each anchorage and marina, including the latest information about fuel docks and available services, as well as marine parks to explore and much more. This indispensable reference will enhance every boater's plotting and cruising experience.
The Yeadon-Jones' bestselling Dreamspeaker Cruising Guide series is beloved by local and visiting boaters alike. It encompasses seven volumes and provides the most detailed coverage of the Pacific Northwest--from the San Juan Islands and Washington State, to British Columbia's Cape Scott and the west coast of Vancouver Island. Each volume is filled with meticulous hand-drawn charts and vital information that guides boaters safely into busy harbours, marinas and sheltered anchorages.
