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."

From its vast regions of coastal and interior wilderness to its rustic heritage towns and vibrant multicultural cities, the province offers unparalleled opportunities for outdoor explorers and urban sophisticates alike. This collection of images depicts the unique elements of all regions of the province including both its urban and rural landscapes. From Vancouver Island to East Kootenay, from the Okanagan to the Cariboo-Chilcotin, from the Fraser Valley to Peace River country, Al Harvey captures the breadth of his homeland. Al Harvey’s spectacular photographs capture it all in this tribute to one of the world’s most beautiful places.
