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."
Since 1992, The Claremont Review has published the poems and stories of well over a thousand young writers from across Canada, the United States and elsewhere. This semi-annual review represents one of the very few journals that focus solely on the work of apprentices to the craft of serious writing, those young people who aspire to become the next Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje or P.K. Page. Naming the Baby celebrates the best from the first thirty issues of The Claremont Review. This exciting anthology features the poetry and fiction of some of the most talented adolescent writers of the past fifteen years, many of whom have gone on to careers in writing and whose novels and poems now grace bookshelves in bookstores across the continent. Naming the Baby offers great reading for anyone interested in teen literature and will serve as both an invaluable source of inspiration for aspiring writers and an effective teaching resource in schools and libraries. Online teaching aids and lesson plans will be available.
"This book, like most babies, offers the exhilaration of hope and a parcel of joy diapered with a whiff of intimidation."
"Emotionally charged and engaging....School and public libraries need copies of Naming the Baby. Recommended."
