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."

The Lower Mainland's most popular cycling guide -- updated and expanded with forty-five bike routes.
Considered the fastest-growing method of travel in Vancouver, cycling is a good way to stay fit, save money, and have little impact on the environment. This guide provides forty-five good reasons to do all three and have fun at the same time.
Easy Cycling around Vancouver features dozens of bike routes to discover across the Lower Mainland and northwestern Washington State. From Squamish to Bellingham, Richmond to Agassiz, Jean & Norman Cousins take you on bike tours along winding backroads and quiet country lanes, pointing out the best cafes and swimming holes as well as local flora and historic sites.
This updated and expanded second edition includes:
- forty-five tours (nine all-new ones) ranging from 10 to 45 kilometres long
- concise, easy-to-follow maps and route descriptions
- helpful tips about cycling basics, safety, and trip planning
The tours are perfect for families, novice riders, and older cyclists, or those who just want to have a lazy day exploring the countryside by bicycle. Try a flat, scenic trail with the kids or combine several tours to make up a multi-day trip. Ride right from your front door or take a bus, train, ferry, or car to the starting point. Whatever your cycling interest, Easy Cycling around Vancouver is just the ticket.
