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."
Hard work and an acrobatic style--that's what makes Curtis Joseph one of the best clutch goalies in the NHL. Since joining the league as a walk-on free agent in 1989, Joseph has earned the respect of fellow players and fans and made the Maple Leafs a major Stanley Cup contender. In the words of Leafs coach Pat Quinn, "I've never seen another goalie who could pick up his team with a big save." In simple, enjoyable text and dozens of exciting action photos, follow the career of this talented netminder from his early days with the St. Louis Blues and Edmonton Oilers, and with Canada's national team. You'll understand why he has become one the NHL's most highly paid and admired goalies.
