It is a day-by-day account of the making of the movie. It is filled with the details of making a movie on location. It was incredibly inspiring to me. – source

One of my favorite books of all time is THE JAWS LOG, written by JAWS screenwriter (and the Amity newspaper editor) CARL GOTTLIEB! It tells the twisted tale of what it took to make an American classic. Indispensable for filmmaking fans! It's an excellent page-turner! #JawsAtHome – source
