The best book I've found for BC lights is by Graham and was previously mentioned and is noted below. For those still looking for pre-cruise reading material, the 3 books following it have various information on Alaska and the Inside Passage.

Before buying some of these books or others mentioned, if you live in an area with a good library system, you might find some of the titles for reviewing to see if you want to purchase your own copy.

Incidentally, all books mentioned in this thread can be found with varying prices and condition using one of the several book search engines. For instance, if someone wanted to save some money, the 2 books bought by Paul could have been purchased for about $5-15 less from other new book sellers and/or by buying very good used copies. If one searches carefully, Amazon is often not the least expensive source for books, it is simply the best known.
