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."
The colourful, information-packed Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides cover the most significant and accessible cruising areas of the southern inside passage, and have become standard references for British Columbia boaters. Volume 6, The West Coast of Vancouver Island will be just as invaluable.
With its rugged, rock-studded shoreline, relentlessly crashing ocean swells, miles of sandy beaches, diversity of wildlife and countless coves and bays, Vancouver Island's western shoreline, usually referred to simply as the West Coast, presents a challenging and thrilling adventure.
Intended to complement official hydrographic charts, Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides feature full-colour scenic photographs that showcase the splendour of the Pacific Northwest coast and informative and charming hand-drawn shoreline plans of selected marinas and small boat anchorages, ranging from safe allweather havens to secluded picnic spots and marine parks. With charts, tips and data, this guide pinpoints both popular and littleknown highlights to enhance the enjoyment and safety of any voyage to the West Coast.
Written in the personal style of a boater's logbook, these guides provide vital information about featured locations, plus notes on recreational activities for adults and children. Here you will find the best spots along the west coast of Vancouver Island from Cape Scott to Sooke including Bull Harbour, the Bunsby Islands and Barclay Sound, with full-colour scenic photographs that showcase the splendour of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
