Jim Anderson (born 1937) edited Oz Magazine and later wrote the book Billarooby.

Jim Anderson was born in Haverhill, Suffolk, but his family emigrated to Australia when he was a year old; he grew up in Sydney where he studied law at the University of Sydney while also working as a public servant.^[1]

Anderson had joined Oz in 1969.^[1] In 1971, he was prosecuted in London, along with fellow Oz editors Felix Dennis and Richard Neville for Oz number 28, "the Schoolkids Issue". His book, Billarooby, was published in 1988. Told from the view of a 12 year old boy, it explored themes of relationships of the boy with his father and a male teacher who falls in love with his father.^[2] Anderson also edited Neville's 1995 memoir Hippy, Hippy Shake.^[2]
