This is the most common cover by Edith Clarke on the making of the film she wrote her book on. There is a more modern version and that is worth the purchase as well. I just got this for the shrine and will not read this book until my final years of life.

    Great book, though geared to Vineyard residents
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2008*

I'm pretty sure that when Edith Blake was writing this book she had no idea that the film would be the worldwide smash that it was and that "Jaws" fans would snap up every bit of movie-related merchandise they could find, including her book.I say that because it is obvious that Blake gives more than just a few nods to her fellow Martha's Vineyard residents and neighbors throughout the book.  In fact, this book could have alternately been a serialized session of contributing essays for the Martha's Vineyard Gazette and would have hit its target audience smack on their heads.Not that this is a bad thing necessarily.  If it does occasionally come off sounding like a local reporter writing for local residents, then it does so with a refreshing lack of "big-time author grandiosity".  The book could have used a better editor, though -- far too many spelling and punctuation errors.For the "Jaws" fans who AREN'T Martha's Vineyard residents, then this book is a delightful, if somewhat slight, folksy account of Hollywood descending on a small Eastern town that normally would just prefer to be left alone.The "Jaws" shoot ran way over schedule and tried the patience of more than a few locals, but the economic boon to the town during the off-season probably eased the inconvenience a bit.  When the off-season turned into tourist season and the film crew was still on the island taking up valuable rental space, a few locals and businesses did get a bit testy.  I imagine the success of the film and the tourist business that descended upon the island as a result made them change their tunes soon enough.Incidentally, I first read this book as a 9 year-old in 1975 and kept the  original paperback for years and years.  I jumped at the chance to repurchase this book and read it again with a fresh perspective and with about 200 viewings of the film under my belt.  Admittedly, it made the book far more interesting, though it comes up short compared to Carl Gottlieb's "Jaws Log".  But there's no way Blake could possibly hope to compete with Carl Gottlieb's insider perspective when it comes to "Jaws" production stories.I love all things "Jaws" (except the sequels, of course) and would recommend this book to all fellow "Jaws" aficionados.  Heck, I even flew to New England to visit Martha's Vineyard in 2006 on a self-guided tour of the film's locations.  I'm such a movie geek.Sidebar:  One of my college professors was an employee at a hotel on the island during the bulk of the film's shoot and loved to tease me with tales of playing in weekend softball games with the "Jaws" cast and crew.  Wish I could have been there for that. What a fabulous experience that must have been, both at the time and in later years when the film's cache  lent so much to his memories of it all.

The book was dark and murky. The pictures were so dark they were almost unseeable.l
