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."

Over thirteen chapters, each focussing on a major highway, naturalists Richard and Sydney Cannings reveal the secrets of roadside flora and fauna. Featuring full-colour photographs and black-and-white drawings of numerous plants and animals, and a map of featured highways, this guide is the ideal road trip companion.
