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."
In this revised and retitled edition of Fishing in the West, David Carpenter offers a wealth of tips and techniques for catching all the major species of Western Canada, from the prized trout to the monster pike to the beautiful arctic grayling. The book tells you how to master the delicate and demanding art of fly-fishing, where the prime fishing spots are, how to get there and when to go. It also gives you instructions for canning, smoking and preserving your catch and presents a variety of delectable recipes.
