About This Item
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell [1980], 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. [8], 1-216 pp. Quarter maroon cloth over grey paper boards with gold lettering on the spine. Grey endpapers and pastedowns. Price of $8.95 on the front flap of the dust jacket. Jacket design by Kinuko Craft. Signed by Paterson on the title page without personalization. The winner of the 1981 Newbery Medal. Our jacket has a Newbery Medal sticker on it, however, this is not in fact an issue point. When it comes to books and their jackets, issues and states are determined based on the decisions of publishers and printers (for further discussion of this, please see Bowers and Gaskell's treatises on bibliography). Newbery stickers are products of the American Library Association, and have nothing to do with the publisher or the printer. Anyone, from a bookseller, a collector, or a librarian, can paste Newbery stickers onto dust jackets. This does not make a jacket a later issue, as publishers and their printers do not print the stickers, nor do they decide which books get to be Newbery Winners. A sharp copy of Paterson's tale of a neglected child who eventually achieves self-actualization. A tiny push and a spot of foxing to the top textblock, rear pastedown with a small sticker ghost; jacket with the library price clipped off the front flap and a tiny bit of rubbing.
Synopsis
Jacob Have I Loved is a novel by Katherine Paterson that won the 1981 Newbery Medal. The title refers to the sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau in the Jewish and Christian Bible, and comes directly from Romans 9:13: As it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. " Set in the early 1940s on Rass Island in Chesapeake Bay, the novel follows the story of the Bradshaws, a family who depends on the father, Truitt, and his crabbing/fishing business on his boat, the Portia Sue.
