    Synopsis
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The classic suspense novel of shark versus man, which was made into the blockbuster Steven Spielberg movie. The Jaws phenomenon changed popular culture and continues to inspire a growing interest in sharks and the oceans today. When Peter Benchley wrote Jaws in the early 1970s, he meticulously researched all available data about shark behavior. Over the ensuing decades, Benchley was actively engaged with scientists and filmmakers on expeditions around the world as they expanded their knowledge of sharks. Also during this time, there was an unprecedented upswing in the number of sharks killed to make shark-fin soup, and Benchley worked with governments and nonprofits to sound the alarm for shark conservation. He encouraged each new generation of Jaws fans to enjoy his riveting tale and to channel their excitement into support and protection of these magnificent, prehistoric apex predators. This edition of Jaws contains bonus content from Peter Benchley's archives, including the original typed title page, a brainstorming list of possible titles, a letter from Benchley to producer David Brown with honest feedback on the movie adaptation, and excerpts from Benchley's book Shark Trouble highlighting his firsthand account of writing Jaws, selling it to Universal Studios, and working with Steven Spielberg. Praise for Jaws "A tightly written, tautly paced study of terror [that] makes us tingle." -- The Washington Post "Powerful . . . [Benchley's] story grabs you at once." -- The New York Times Book Review "Relentless terror . . . You'd better steel yourself for this one. It isn't a tale for the faint of heart." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Pure engrossment from the very opening . . . a fine story told with style, class, and a splendid feeling for suspense." -- Chicago Sun-Times, "Relentless terror." The Philadelphia Inquirer.The classic, blockbuster thriller of man-eating terror that inspired the Steven Spielberg movie and made millions of beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Experience the thrill of helpless horror again -- or for the first time!From the Paperback edition.

      These copies of the Virginia Magazine arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The vendor, in my interactions with her, is a very kind individual, who will keep the buyer apprised in the event that there are any delays or, as it was in my case, changes in shipment. In my case, it was a change from USPS to FedEx. A truly great vendor, rest assured.

      Thank you for your understanding. The shipment could not be shipped via "Media" rate and normally eBay will not allow for it to be listed this way when I created the listing. But, for some reason, the eBay system did not "flag" this item when the listing was created, yet disallowed the media shipping when the order came through. The good news is that you likely received the item quicker! Thanks for your business!

      A BIT OF A SNAFFOO WHEN THE LISTING HAD 6 ITEMS AND ONLY 5 WERE DELIVERED. A QUICK RESPONSE TO MY EMEAIL ALLOWED FOR DISCUSSION AND SOLUTION. PACKING WAS EXCELLENT AND SHIOOING TIME NOT BAD. COMMUNICATION WITH SELLER WAS VERY QUICK AND SATISFYING.
      Reply from: handinhandconsignments- Feedback replied to by seller handinhandconsignments.- Feedback replied to by seller handinhandconsignments.
      I appreciate your understanding. However, to be clear, the snaffoo was simply a "typo" in the title stating 6 tapes. The pictures showed 5 tapes with 6 cases (one of which was shown empty). I instantly recognized the mistake when you said you only received 5 tapes and I explained what had happened. The pictures verified that you would be receiving 5 tapes. Thank you for your polite messages and understanding. And, again, I apologize for the error.

      Excellent Summer Book

      Yes. You've seen the movie. But, have you read the book? Benchley knows his characters and how to write a tail with the necessities and not all the unnecessary fluff. Excellent summer read...especially for thee beach. You're gonna need a bigger boat. :-) Happy reading!

      Conjures up fear and suspense.

      I like reading books that give rise to movies because they include material that can't all be in the movies. I also enjoyed learning the differences, especially concerning the characters, between the movie and the book. Even though I've watched my DVD a hundred times, the book was still interesting and suspenseful -- I could hear the ominous music in my head at the shark's approach. My opinion is that the movie followed the book quite closely and enhanced it greatly. A big "Well done!"

      Quaint New England town terrorized by massive underwater predator.

      I read Jaws the year it was published. The story is still just as gripping and riveting as it was then and just as current. Jaws is a must read! Pure enjoyment reading one of the most memorable stories of modern literary history. Anyone care for a swim at the beach?

      I love the book, but I specifically bought it because I thought I was getting the book sleeve. It’s missing the book sleeve, which I really wanted.
