About the book
Jaws is a 1974 novel by American writer Peter Benchley. It tells the story of a great white shark that preys upon a small resort town and the voyage of three men trying to kill it. The novel grew out of Benchley's interest in shark attacks after he learned about the exploits of Montauk, New York shark fisherman Frank Mundus in 1964. Doubleday commissioned him to write the novel in 1971, a period when Benchley worked as a freelance journalist. ---------- Also contained in: - [Best Sellers from Reader's Digest Condensed Books](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15134116W) - [Reader's Digest Condensed Books.
