With over 200 quiz questions in 20 different categories including photographs, A Question of the Black Country celebrates the people, places, industry, and history that helps to make this region known as the Black Country so unique.
The answer sections contain both short answers, as would be expected in a quiz book, and also more detailed explanations making this just as much a history book as a quiz book. Many of the questions will fall within living memory for many people but will still make you think!
