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."
Take an inside look at the most important two minutes of hockey! This newest book in the successful Hockey the NHL Way series reveals the ins and outs of those special teams that hang tight when the action heats up; that use power plays on their road to glory; and that boost morale (and prevent opponents from scoring) with penalty kills. Highlighted by full-color action photographs of NHL players in game situations, and with personal tips from such stars as Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Jere Lehtinen, Jeff Friesen, and Mike Peca, here's a guide that really shows how today's greats make the big plays when the game is on the line. All the skills youngsters need to tackle special team situations like the pros are broken down into easy-to-understand steps with how-to photos and text: how to kill penalties, capitalize on power plays, win key faceoffs, score on penalty shots, and prevail in shootouts.
