Arthur has sandwiched many of his experiences into a series of books including:
BASIC BLACK: THE WIT AND WHIMSY OF ARTHUR BLACK (1981) Vintage humourous sketches from the pen of a guy who was, well, hungry.
BACK TO BLACK
(1986) More hilarious sketches that wouldn’t fit into the previous compilation.
ARTHUR! ARTHUR!
(1991) Still more rollicking humour! Is this guy on a roll, or what?
THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
(1989) Even funnier than the previous sidesplitting collection.
BLACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
(1994) Are you beginning to sense a pattern here?
BLACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
(1996) Like a classic Okanagan Merlot. He just keeps getting better.
BLACK TIE AND TALES
(1999) Okay. Surely he’s exhausted all Noirish title possibilities now…
