The Black Book BETTER
The Black Book, which was first published 35 years ago, was like a scrapbook of the African-American experience: In its pages, there were photographs of black men being lynched while white men stood by and smiled. There were advertisements for the public sale of Negroes, and other ads for items like spool cotton and Sunlight soap that featured caricatures of black children. But there were also images of families dressed in their Sunday finest and soldiers who helped break the color barrier in the U.S. military.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison tells NPR's Michele Norris that when she first compiled the book in 1974, African-Americans yearned for a closer examination of their history, even though it was a painful one.
The book contains a large section on patents for all kinds of things, including typewriters and washing machines. Morrison says she did that to show that African-Americans were "busy, smart and not just minstrelized.
"I remember my mother used to say, 'Do you know that a Negro invented shoes?' And I said, 'Mama, everybody invented shoes. How could you not think of how to cover your feet?' " Morrison says, laughing. "But when I was doing this book, I saw a 'shoe-lasting machine.' ... So she was sort of right."
Meredith McKinney is a Book'em board member and volunteer, Metro Schools employee, and mother who noticed the urgent need for diverse representation in children's literature. In response, she launched the Black Book Project in April 2020 to collect books featuring Black characters for children who would otherwise not have access to books that represent them. The goal to collect 500 books by the end of February 2021 was quickly exceeded, and over 1,000 books had been donated as of March. The Black Book Project continues to serve the need for diverse books in our community - scroll down to see how you can support the mission!
The Black Book Interactive Project is a collaborative research project that seeks to increase the number of black-authored texts in the study of digital humanities. By generating a metadata schema that accounts for race and race-related issues, we will correct the digital divide in black-authored texts. BBIP has been funded by the University of Kansas, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

This Book of Hours, referred to as the Black Hours, is one of a small handful of manuscripts written and illuminated on vellum that is stained or painted black. The result is quite arresting. The text is written in silver and gold, with gilt initials and line endings composed of chartreuse panels enlivened with yellow filigree. Gold foliage on a monochromatic blue background makes up the borders. The miniatures are executed in a restricted palette of blue, old rose, and light flesh tones, with dashes of green, gray, and white. The solid black background is utilized to great advantage, especially by means of gold highlighting.
Blackbook is an urban winery located in a Victorian railway arch in Battersea, London, a stone\u2019s throw from Battersea Park. Sourcing our grapes from carefully selected English growers, we produce still and sparkling single vineyard English wines. Our focus is pinot noir and chardonnay, with some additional varietals included each year that are our special cameo releases. We follow a traditional winemaking approach with low sulphur wines and indigenous ferments.

Read this guide for a detailed review of the Black Book's strong points and weaknesses. Also, find out how to integrate this book as part of a complete prep program (because, as we'll explain, it's nowhere near enough for most students).
However, a little known fact about Mike Barrett is that he is a professional marketer by trade. This means that some amount of his book's success is due to marketing skill. As he describes in his LinkedIn profile,
While this doesn't automatically reflect poorly on the book - after all, even the best companies need substantial marketing skill - it suggests that his heart and focus is on marketing, not on helping you prepare for the SAT.
The book is divided into four separate sections: one on understanding the SAT at a high level, and then one section each for Reading, Math, and Writing and Language. Each section on an SAT section contains background material you need to know, and then goes through clear explanations for all the questions for that section in official SAT practice tests #1-4.
What students will find missing from this book is focused practice on individual skills. If you need more practice specifically on Algebra equations, you're out of luck. This book doesn't help you figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are, and it doesn't give you pointers on how to train them.
This book is one of the best out there, for what it does. It's nowhere near enough for most students, and you'll need to supplement with other practice materials and books, but what it does have is excellent, and it''ll change how you view the SAT and point out new ways to study.
