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."
Containing inviting descriptions of fifty-four of Alberta's best tea houses, their specialties, special teas, foods, ambience and giftware, Tea Time in Alberta: 55 Places to Discover Your Favourite Tea is an indispensable companion for locals and tourists, city-dwellers and inveterate travellers alike. Besides detailed descriptions, the book contains maps and directions, explanatory notes about tea varieties, herbal teas, and brewing methods and paraphernalia, favourite tea quotes, and best of all, fifteen of the best recipes from selected Alberta tea houses.
"You don't need to drink tea to enjoy Tea Time in Alberta … it is a terrific resource for the armchair traveller as well … This is a book to dip into again and again."Legacy Magazine
