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 hilarious, illustrated account of life in the previously sleepy town of Tofino, during the heated controversy over the proposed logging of BC's Clayoquot Sound. The Green Shadow, which was originally serialized in the Georgia Straight, earned Struthers a 1995 National Magazine Award for Humour and a nomination for two 1995 Western Magazine Awards. In 2004, Struthers published a followup to this story, The Last Voyage of the Loch Ryan. The Green Shadow is number 3 in the Transmontanus series.
Andrew Struthers grew up in Scotland, Uganda, British Columbia, and Japan. Struthers works as a filmmaker and writer, and lives in Victoria with his daughter Pasheabel.
