It doesn't get much more comprehensive and informative than this book when it comes to Great White sharks. Ellis and McCosker give you everything from the scientific data to historical accounts. It's all presented with amazing photography and images.

For anyone who is fascinated by these animals, this is the one book I would recommend.

a collaboration with Dr. peter Klimley, a respected shark biologist - its material covers the white shark and really humanizes the animal, dispelling its negative connotation as the villian from JAWS.

This was an excellent book, devoted to all (known at the time) of the Great White Shark.

Excellent photos, as well - coffee table size makes it awkward to hold, but helps with the display of the photos.

A bit out of date but still worthwhile as a fairly comprehensive overview of the white shark for general readers.

it's generous dimensions and photographs make it a great coffee table book for marine enthusiasts.
