Jaws: Peter Benchley

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.

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.
