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."
Have you ever wondered what the world looked like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth? Eight-year-old author Elliott Seah did, and took it upon himself to find out more. In his first book, he takes readers on a fact-filled exploration of these amazing creatures from our planet’s distant past. With lively illustrations, Elliott provides fascinating answers to important questions about the dinosaurs’ origins, what they ate, how they lived, and how a mass extinction brought their time on Earth to an end. Helpful extras include resources for further reading, and a list of Elliott’s recommended museums with dinosaur collections.
Elliott Seah wrote his guide to dinosaurs when he was only eight years old, as part of an elementary school project. While Elliott’s dream is to pursue paleontology as a career, he also loves music and is an accomplished cellist.
