Publishing is an independent
book publisher owned and operated by Howard and Mary White. The company was
established in 1974 and is based on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. It
publishes about twenty books a year in many genres, but mainly on topics concerning
the west coast of British Columbia.
Harbour also publishes children’s books, poetry,
books concerning Canada’s north, and assorted other books with a wider range of
interest than the west coast.
Harbour has
published more than five hundred titles, including Raincoast Chronicles, a series of
anthologies on BC coast history and culture, of which twenty have now been
produced, and the bestselling, Fishing with John by Edith Iglauer.
Recent children's books
from Harbour include Boys, Girls
and Body Science and Fishing with Gubby.
Recent poetry releases
include Patrick Lane's Witness: Selected Poems 1962-2010.
Other titles include novels, gardening titles, art books, cookbooks and
anthologies.
The press publishes
books about life in Canada's North Under its Lost Moose imprint, including titles such as House Calls by
Dogsled: Six Years in an Arctic Medical Outpost and The Boreal
Gourmet: Adventures in Northern Cooking.
