To Sir, with Love

by E. R. Braithwaite

This signed Center Point large-print hardcover edition of To Sir, with Love presents E. R. Braithwaite’s enduring autobiographical novel about a Black teacher confronting prejudice, class divisions, and a hostile classroom in postwar London. Drawing upon Braithwaite’s own teaching experiences, the story follows the gradual development of respect and understanding between a new teacher and his initially defiant students.

First published in 1959, To Sir, with Love received the 1961 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in the nonfiction category, an honour recognizing important writing about racism and human diversity. The book was also adapted into the celebrated 1967 film starring Sidney Poitier.

This is the 2002 Center Point Large Print Edition, ISBN 9781585472413. E. R. Braithwaite has signed the title page in blue ink, without a visible personalized inscription. The book is a hardcover with dust jacket and is seller-rated Very Good.

The dust jacket displays light shelf and edge wear, including minor rubbing and small creases around the corners and spine ends. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual book being offered.
