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."

Contributor Notes
Jack Boudreau devoted his professional life to British Columbia’s forest industry working as a licensed scaler, industrial first-aid attendant and forest fire fighter mostly with the Ministry of Forests. Jack was an avid lover of the outdoors and shared his perspective as a mountain climber, fisherman and naturalist in his nine BC bestsellers–Whitewater Devils; Trappers and Trailblazers; Sternwheelers and Canyon Cats, Crazy Man’s Creek, Grizzly Bear Mountain, Wilderness Dreams; Mountains, Campfires and Memories, Wild & Free and, most recently, King of the Mountain. Jack passed away in 2018.
