Anchor Man by Jesse Jackson. First edition with rare dust jacket! Ex-Lib copy with typical markings. Author’s second book following the success of Call Me Charley. Jackson went on to publish 7 novels. Jackson was one of the first young adult novelists whose works focused on contemporary experience of African-American children often those experiencing life as a minority in a white community. The Columbus, Ohio native is heralded as being an outstanding storyteller and a powerful black voice within literature, children’s books and race relations. Awesome book and very difficult to track down. Beautifully illustrated by Doris Spiegel.
