Welcome to Country Life Books

Formerly Beacon Books in Sidney, BC, Country Life Books is a secondhand bookseller in Creston, BC.  Home to tens of thousands of books, including first-editions, rare and antiquarian titles, the collection has been in the making for thirty years.  

A new chapter

The storefront on downtown Canyon Street highlights the country living sections of the collection such as gardening, cooking, and crafts, along with popular sections of literature, history, mystery, fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, children's books, biography, poetry, travel, religion and art.  There is truly something for everyone.  Ask for a book or category, we may have it in storage waiting to be brought in for you.   Peruse the shelves often as the titles take their turns in the store.  

The rare and antiquarian books are available through the online catalogue, as is the well-known collection of nautical and military history, along with a great many academic titles.  Browse the ever-expanding catalogue.  It is our hope that the entire inventory of the warehouse will be available online in the months to come.
