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."
The author, singer, actress, and mother of Mick Jagger's eldest daughter tells her inspiring, courageous story of battling breast cancer.
It's September 1968, opening night of the first rock musical, Hair. Actress Marsha Hunt, 22, poses naked after the show in Patrick Licheld's London studio. With its notorious nude scene, Hair took the world by storm. It also launched Hunt's career as a musician, actress, and internationally acclaimed writer.
Almost four decades later, Hunt again posed nude for Licheld. Only weeks earlier she had had her right breast and lymph glands removed to halt the spread of cancer. In Undefeated, Hunt describes how she transformed her personal crisis into an opportunity for others to change their perceptions of female sexuality and beauty. She describes throwing a hair-cutting party at the Hollywood home of her daughter, Karis Jagger; fighting against a hospital superbug; and falling in love on the Internet. Throughout, her sense of humor and indomitable spirit shine through.
