To coincide with the 30th anniversary of the now-classic
Steven Spielberg film, a new expanded edition, in hardcover
for the first time, of one of the best "making of" books of
all time.
Steven Soderbergh, Bryan Singer, Rod
Lurie, John Landis, Steve Martin, and Rob Reiner are among
the many filmmakers who concur, more than 30 years after its
first publication, that The Jaws Log by screenwriter
Carl Gottlieb deserves an enduring place as a "modern
classic" on filmmakers and filmmaking.
The only book
on how 26-year-old Steven Spielberg transformed Peter
Benchley's #1 bestselling novel into the phenomenal movie it
became, Gottlieb's chronicle of this extraordinary year-long
adventure was first published in 1975, generating 17
printings and selling more than 2 million paperback copies.
Long out of print, a new, expanded paperback edition was
published in 2000 to mark the movie's 25th Anniversary,
featuring a 22-page behind-the-scenes photo album, a new
afterword by Gottlieb updating readers on the fates of the
filmmakers, and an introduction by Peter
Benchley.
Now, on the occasion of the movie's 30th
Anniversary, The Jaws Logis available for the first
time in an affordably-priced hardcover edition with a new
foreword by the author.
