About BC Books Online
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."

Editorial Reviews
In Antarctica may not be a book of poetry, but the respect and command of language that makes Ruzesky such a wonderful poet is on display throughout the book...He vividly brings to life the beauty of Antarctica, a place that to the unfamiliar may seem like just a white barren wasteland...Ruzesky is such a fine writer - fact or fiction - that he is worth following to the end of the Earth.
--Colin Holt, Victoria Times-Colonist
In Antarctica is a fascinating and eminently readable memoir...In addition to a lifetime of anticipation, Ruzesky brings along his poet's palette as he discovers what it's really like to set foot on the last truly wild place on Earth. In Antarctica is a finely crafted piece of creative non-fiction, well suited for either the veteran or armchair traveler. Since few of us will ever reach Antarctica ourselves, it's a treat to have an author as accomplished as Ruzesky capture the experience for us.
--John Threlfall, CVV Magazine
