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."
This outspoken, thoroughly documented study covers the development of one of North America's most important industrial unions from its beginnings to the present. Personalities, issues, and conflicts are analysed with meticulous care.
"The two authors of this book, Wm. Tattam and Dr. Jerry Lembcke are to be congratulated for a job well done. They have spent years of patient work, research, hundreds of interviews and many miles of travel to produce a true and factual picture of woodworkers' struggles to organize a strong union."
-Harold Pritchett, Founding President of the I.W.A.
