Introduced by Robert Robinson
Eric Idle of Monty Python and novelist Monica Dickens each make their choice for the paperback of the year.
The Author, the Editor and the Paperbackman: a lunch of creamed mussels, an idea and a deal led Peter Benchley to write Jaws, the story of a shark terrorising an American seaside town which is a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic. It was his first novel and earned one million dollars before a copy changed hands over the counter.
Peter Benchley , Thomas Congdon Jr, the editor, and Oscar Dystel , President of Bantam Paperbacks , describe how they made and marketed a bestseller.
' I had been a speechwriter for President Johnson but later I became a television reporter and commentator and anchorman for two years and during that time, since it was only two or three days a week, I was able to sit down and afford to write the book.'
Studio director MARTIN L. BELL Producer PHILIP SPEIGHT
Executive producer WILL WYATT
