Welcome to the 'Black Country Society' Book & Sponsored Publications pages

Every year the Society is approached by Black Country authors who have researched and written books about the people and places from the area. In many cases these manuscripts are too niche for commercial publishers and the Society may be the only option these budding writers get to see their books in print.

The Society make every effort to accommodate BC authors and we are pleased to have the highly valued support of the membership when it comes to sales of the books. Over the years the Society have built up quite a portfolio of books on a wide variety of topics relating to the Black Country and we have always been pleased to offer them at very affordable cost to all those interested. We know you will enjoy reading the books sponsored by the Society and we are pleased from time-to-time to also offer our members, special discounts from authors who have self published.  Please keep visiting the website, keep purchasing to support BC authors and look out for our Special Discounted Offers to you in the future!

WANTED: PRINT ANGELS

The Black Country Society supports, sponsors or publishes a small number of books each year. They are written by authors who are born in the area, live locally or otherwise have a deep interest in the Black Country. Past publications have been about people, industry, buildings and culture including themes such as dialect and humour.

Books are expensive to publish – each publication may cost several thousand pounds and we want to make sure that our books are attractive and informative. We are appealing for Print Angels to help the Society support books which have a local and regional value. 

For a donation you can have your name or that of a relative or friend printed in a book which will be around for many years. Supporting the Society in your will is another way in which you can help. Of course, you can give money without necessarily having a name mentioned in a publication.

of publications sponsored and available from the Society or go to the Book/Gift Shop for fast and easy purchasing.
