This book is a classic. Everything I ever knew about the making of Jaws started with this little volume. It is written well, by the guy who made the screenplay that worked so well. There is almost nothing I have heard or seen since that I did not already know since reading this book shortly after seeing the movie in 1975. I was lucky, the perfect age (12), to get completely swept up in the moment that was the Summer of Jaws. It was the movie that captured me and gave me my love of movies and movie making. I still believe it was the greatest film ever made. Everyone should know the wonderful backstory of this movie.
