Non-Fiction Books

In addition to our great classics section and long list of fiction titles, we also feature non-fiction books. Our non-fiction books have become extremely popular with locals and tourists who are enroute to the Island and want to find out more about the region. They are also enjoyable for others who are looking for a quick something to read while waiting for their boat to dock.

We feature many categories of non-fiction books including:

• Guide books
• Science and nature books
• Cookbooks
• Political/economic books
• Philosophy books
• Historical books and more

Galiano Island Books takes the same care in selecting our non-fiction books as we do our fiction ones. We proudly bring you the highest quality publications from a diverse range of top-selling authors to first-time, promising greats.

The value of a non-fiction book review

You wouldn’t buy a car without driving it first; the same should be true for a book—but would you really stand in a store all day and read something from front to back? That is our job. Our friendly staff will recommend the best new non-fiction books for you. Jim is one of our resident academics and can offer his insight into anything science or nature related. We also have many travellers and locals on board to recommend the best guide books. Make sure you’re picking something you love with a bit of help from our team.

Our favourites

Another recent non-fiction favourite is Dan Ariely’s Predictably Irrational. In his book, Ariely explains how human decision making is based on irrational processes that seem to go against the grain of reason. His clever commentary gives us insight into personal behaviour and how it affects the human species at large—and can contribute to something as momentous as a global economic recession.
