Jaws

It's never safe to go back in the water . . . It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holidaymakers. The first sign of trouble, a warning of what was to come, took the form of a young woman's body – or what was left of it – washed up on the long, white stretch of beach. A summer of terror has begun . . . This edition offers bonus material from Peter Benchley's archives: his original typed title page, a list of early title ideas, and a candid letter to film producer David Brown about the movie adaptation. Plus, read excerpts from Benchley's Shark Trouble for his firsthand account of writing Jaws, selling it to Universal, and working with Steven Spielberg.
