British Columbia Travel Books

Posted by Lori Henry Feb 20, 2008

I love using books as a guide to help me discover a city. Whether historical, contemporary or even fictional, I think they’re a great way to get to know an area in more depth.

Lately, I’ve covered a few wonderful publications that add to the travel experience. If you’re looking for vice and scandal in Victoria, BC, read Stella Carroll: Unrepentant Madam.

Or perhaps you’d like to follow the gold trail to Slumach’s Gold near Pitt River, BC. For a glimpse at what Vancouver, BC looked like 100 years ago, get a copy of Philip Timms’ Vancouver: 1900-1910, a photographic collection of the city.

All of these books add adventure and a deeper understanding to a trip to British Columbia.
