Berkley Books edition

This book with “true tales of shark attacks in man — facts more terrifying than the fiction of JAWS” apes Novel Gothic’s use on the Pan edition of Peter Benchley’s novel released the year before.

The Shark Attack edition by Everest Books (pictured below) even goes to the trouble of modifying the ‘H’ and the ‘K’ as had the original book with the ‘J’ and ‘W’. In fact, the only letterforms that match Novel Gothic are the ‘S’ and the ‘A’, suggesting that this knock-off is lettering solely based on the JAWS cover, without the involvement of type.

The cover of the British paperback edition of JAWS by Pan Books renders the title in caps from Novel Gothic. ‘J' and ‘W’ were modified for an even more pointy and aggressive look. This logo was repeated in subsequent editions and reprints. It was also referenced in cover designs for Shark Attack.
