Making of the Movie Jaws is a book by Edith Blake that tells the story of filming the 1975 movie Jaws. The book was written by an outsider who wasn't allowed to know all the production's secrets.

The novel Jaws by Peter Benchley tells the story of a great white shark that attacks people in a small resort town. The local police chief leads a voyage to catch and kill the shark to save the town from financial ruin. The novel was a commercial hit and was adapted into a 1975 film that became the highest grossing movie in history at that time.

The movie and the book have some differences, including:

* In the movie, Matt and Martin are friends, but in the book they become enemies.
* In the movie, the shark is killed by Brody who shoots an air canister into its jaws, but in the book the shark dies due to harpoon injuries.
* In the movie, the danger of the shark is emphasized, but in the book the danger of the shark is pushed aside in order to keep tourism money coming in.
