About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Arthur Black--beloved radio personality, newspaper columnist, bestselling author and two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour--shows no symptoms of a weary funny bone with his latest offering Pitch Black.
Pitch Black delivers hilarious insights on the medical application of duct tape, the real difference between men and women, how to reuse that Commodore 64 in the closet and why writers dread cocktail parties and barbeques ("A stranger asks you what you do; you tell them you're a writer. And they come back with 'No, I meant what do you do for a LIVING.'").
At least one writer need not fear the hors d'oeuvres table--Pitch Black proves that Arthur Black is master of his craft. Laughs are guaranteed.
