Presented here is the original and best tale of a monstrous great white preying upon a small resort town and the terrific voyage of three heroic men to end it. It was just another day in a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holiday makers. 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 began! "Pick up 'Jaws' before midnight, read the first five pages, and I guarantee you'll be putting it down breathless and stunned, as dawn is breaking the next day" - Daily Express. Peter Benchley's 'Jaws' first appeared in 1974, creating a legend that refuses to die. For each generation, the ultimate nightmare begins again. Printed in Great Britain by Cox & Wyman Limited, London, Fakenham and Reading. 272 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
