What antique shark books were on Martin Brody's desk in Jaws? The imagery used from these books can tell us a lot about how science viewed sharks during this era.
A continuation of Episode 74, shark expert Andrew Currie brings a volume of information to the show, and we have the most comprehensive take on the shark books featured in the movie.
The origins of the word 'shark' in the English language is discovered.

Was he right? Was Matt Hooper right when he said he agrees with the theory of Territoriality? Utilizing antique books from the set of Jaws, we dissect conventional scientific information of that era to get inside the mind of Matt Hooper during the summer of 1974 when Jaws takes place.
Are sharks territorial? What about the rogue shark theory? What scientist invented the theory and what were the reasons? All the answers and more are discovered here.
The Book of Quint lands under Christmas trees around the world. Reader reviews flood in.
Happy New Year 2024 to everyone in the Jaws Obsession. Thank you for all the dedicated listenership over 2023. We have a great year ahead of us in 2024. Glad to have you onboard.

The Henry Cavill fanbase joins the Jaws Obsession as fan casting images hit social media creating the question: Why can't there be a prequel to Jaws in 2025 with Henry Cavill as Quint, directed by Steven Spielberg with a score composed by John Williams? Just asking?
31 days to the Book of Quint countdown has begun on Instagram @bookofquint. Can Artificial Intelligence be used as a tool to bring The Book of Quint closer to reality? Bob Ross may hold the key to the answer.
