<B>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.</B><br/><br/>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 <I>The Jaws Log</I> by screenwriter Carl Gottlieb deserves an enduring place as a "modern classic" on filmmakers and filmmaking. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Now, on the occasion of the movie's 30th Anniversary, <I>The Jaws Log</I>is available for the first time in an affordably-priced hardcover edition with a new foreword by the author. 36 b/w photos.
