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.

Since 1994, the City of Vancouver (Mayor of Vancouver’s office), the Vancouver Public Library, and a non-profit society (Pacific BookWorld News Society, founded in 1988) have been working in partnership to jointly sponsor and present an annual prize to a senior B.C. author.
