A History of Bowen Island Phone Book Covers

A new edition of the Bowen Island phone book and business directory has come out every year for over THREE DECADES! The first few years it was a joint endeavour by the Bowen Island Chamber of Commerce and Wiltshire Publishing. In 1995, Barbara Wiltshire produced it herself until 2020. Schaefer Publishing now compiles and publishes The Bowen Book. It is mailed out each year in late spring to all addresses on the island.

The cover art over the decades has been exceptional. Bowen has so many talented artists, and these covers are a way to showcase them. All images, art and drawings are copyright Schaefer Publishing 2022. Please email to request permission to use any material on this site.
