Black book

A black book is a collection of negative examples from the author's or publisher's point of view that is published in book form, more recently also as a document or website . It belongs to the genre of disclosure literature , which aims to uncover - supposed or actual - immoral, illegal or criminal abuses (i.e. either the "black" [negative] sides of individuals or political or economic organizations or the "black sheep" within a Branch). These are put in the public pillory or made known to the public without judgment. In Germany, for example, the Association of Taxpayers lists what it considers to be the most serious examples of the waste of public money known to it in its annually published Black Book.
