Description: Make an offer! BENCHLEY, Peter (1940-2006). Jaws. Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1974. 8vo. Original black cloth lettered in silver on spine (spine slightly leaned); publisher’s unclipped dust jacket (a few creases to extremities, a few tiny chips, cellotape on front panel). Provenance: Madeline Weigel (signature on half-title). FIRST EDITION, with gutter code "044" on p.311. IN THE FIRST JACKET with "$6.95 price" and "J" on inner front flap. SIGNED BY BENCHLEY on half-title: “Peter Benchley 1/29/74.” What is a gutter code on a book? The codes are stamped in the gutter of one of the last printed pages in a publication, usually the last page of text…. Please be aware that the gutter code translates into a manufacturing date which can be four to six weeks before a publication is made available to the public. Benchley’s novel developed from his interest in shark attacks after he learned about the exploits of Montauk, New York fisherman Frank Mundus, who was a shark hunter in his early life.  Film producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown bought the film rights before the novel was published.  The film Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg and released in June 1975, was a summer blockbuster, becoming the highest-grossing movie in history to that time, proclaiming to audiences: “you’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
