A dark green and black marbled cover scrapbook about The Jackson 5 compiled by Gail Anderson as a child. There is a gilt border formed of two parallel rows of doublt gilt lines with tendrils and abstract floral designs at the corners. Etched into the top third of the cover, possibly by a ballpoint pen are the words "SCRAP / BOOK." The interior pages consist of white paper most of which show yellowing and fading. There are thirty pages. Each page is covered both front and back with newspaper and magazine clippings of articles and both black-and-white and color images of the Jackson 5 as a group and the members individually. The clippings are arranged in various configurations enhanced with colored marker and blue and black ink captions and decorations. On the inside of the back cover is the name “Gail Zhalasa [?] Anderson." The back cover is blank.
