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."
A beautiful, full-colour keepsake of Victoria and its picturesque surroundings.
The natural beauty of Victoria and its environs is brilliantly showcased in this attractive book by internationally recognized photographer Chris Cheadle. From spectacular Sidney by the Sea to the charming downtown neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Old Town, and Fernwood, this book features an up-to-date overview of the area’s key attractions and landmarks. Cheadle’s photographic journey includes stunning images of the Inner Harbour district and nearby Fisherman’s Wharf and Beacon Hill Park; the winding and scenic shoreline from Fairfield through Oak Bay to Cadboro Bay; West Shore parks and historical sites, including Esquimalt Harbour, the Fisgard Lighthouse, and Hatley Park; and bucolic scenes along the West Coast Highway from Metchosin to Sooke. This is an ideal memento of Victoria.
