About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind.

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."

Description
Nightwood Editions is proud to present its annual O Canada Crosswords release with Gwen Sjogren’s tenth book in the series, which features 100 puzzles and over 12,600 clues. If you’re counting, 23.5 percent of the clues focus on Canadian references, and you can depend 100 percent on Sjogren’s usual mix of witty wordplay and unique themes. Here’s a taste to wet your whistle:
Animals – Horsing Around & Coming out of Their Shells
Food – I’m Stuffed & Cropping Up
Holidays – Santa Claus Is Coming & Yummy Yuletide
Puns – Hockey Hall of Blame & Piracy?
Royalty – The Queen’s English & Put Up Your Dukes
Sports – Good Sports & Puttering Around
TV – Is There a Doctor in the House? & Channel Surfing
Seven of the forty-six Canada Cornucopia puzzles offer the challenge of no fill-in-the-blank clues. And in the fifty-four themed puzzles, Sjogren makes a meal of new Canadiana, including cartoonists, stamps, money and geographical references from across the country. So if you’re hungry for some brainteasing trivia, take a bite out of O Canada Crosswords Book 21!
