Welcome to BC BookWorld’s Information Station!
We’re a newspaper about books. We’ve been around since 1987. We aspire to middle-brow usefulness. Four times per year, we produce Canada’s largest-circulation independent publication about literature.
Our newspaper is available via more than 600 non-virtual distributors, or by subscription. We believe people can make up their own minds as to what they ought to read — so we provide lively, up-to-date, unbiased news.
