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 the mouth of Howe Sound to Garibaldi Park, Whistler and Blackcomb and the Pemberton Valley, twenty-seven professional photographers have photographed the very best of the Sea to Sky Region in John Bartosik's classic book, Sea to Sky Country.
Welcome to Sea to Sky Country, a spectacular 160-km corridor of land running between BC's Coast Mountains and Howe Sound, and one of Canada's most splendid natural treasures. In this big, bold, colourful book, the revised and updated edition of a bestselling classic, John Bartosik and six other professional photographers have captured the wild magnificence of this special place, from Howe Sound, Garibaldi Park, Whistler and Blackcomb to the Pemberton Valley and beyond.
Here, photographed with skill and sensitivity, are the craggy mountaintops, lush rain forests, crystalline glaciers and fertile farming valleys; the bald eagles and delicate subalpine wild-flowers; the busy trains and picturesque towns; and most of all the people - a unique breed of lumberjacks, skiers, wind-surfers, mountain climbers, rodeo stars and every other kind of adventurer.
The photographs are woven together with a zesty regional history, choice portraits of local characters and a few insider tips on getting the most out of a truly magnificent place. Sea to Sky Country is the perfect book for anyone who's meeting Sea to Sky Country for the first time, savouring some great memories, or just indulging in a special dream.
