BANTAM Books Y8500; Printed in USA; 28th USA Paperback Printing, June/1975 printing; BANNER on cover states: "Now a Spectacular Motion Picture from Universal"; [Sellers who List 1974 as the Year, are incorrectly noting the Date of the Hardcover editions that Predate the Paperback]; 309 Pages; Super-Thriller, a Novel of Relentless TERROR! ** 2025 Marks the 50th ANNIVERSARY of the Debut of the Blockbuster MOVIE! ** Peter Benchley's novel JAWS has sold over 20 million copies, according to Amazon, making it a major bestseller! ** Roger Kastel iconic painted cover from the 1975 one-sheet movie poster features a Female swimmer unaware of the Giant SHARK with Huge TEETH lurking beneath the surface. ** When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it's up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down. Wikipedia: Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, it stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a New England summer resort town. Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography. Regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster and won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film in history until the release of Star Wars two years later; both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which pursues high box-office returns from action and adventure films with simple high-concept premises, released during the summer in thousands of theaters and advertised heavily. Jaws was followed by three sequels, none of which involved Spielberg or Benchley, as well as many imitative thrillers. ** Adjusted for inflation, "Jaws" (1975) grossed over $1.5 billion in its initial domestic run, making it one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Initially, it earned $260 million at the domestic box office. When accounting for ticket price inflation, this figure translates to over $1.5 billion. >> Cover creasing & scuffing. reading creasing to paper spine; pen to front end page.
