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 700 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.

Our Author Bank is available for free and fast downloads. This separate site (at www.abcbookworld.com) provides instant bibliographical and biographical information for more than 7000 authors. We aim to be of social service. We value education. British Columbia-related authors can contribute factual data about their careers via the link on this home page (submit author information).
