I' m in the process of reading "Tracing your Black Country Ancestors - A Guide for Family Historians" by Michael Pearson.
It list a lot of sources of information, but possibly more important for the none BC genealogist is the back ground info on the Black Country. It isn't an in depth history of the region, but it does give an overview of the area, it's industries, food, dialect etc.
