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."
Written as a segue from the final chapter of the writer's previous publication, this guide to downsizing addresses the growing need of individuals and caregivers in planning and carrying out downsizing tasks while transitioning their premises to smaller places and spaces. For caregivers of all stripes, be they spouses, adult children, siblings, friends, neighbours, downsize companies or caregiving individuals, it offers essential planning steps for downsizing one's life and for providing assistance in downsizing another's life in an organized and meaningful way. With the use of questionnaires, to-do lists, goal setting exercises, and sample scenarios, readers are guided in selecting advisors to team up with who will provide legal and practical advice and assistance in establishing priorities through to completion. The guide includes helpful hints on how to get and give help and deal with the stresses of juggling simple tasks as they become monumental challenges.
