Blue Meridian

Mildly interesting but now dated account of a film makers quest to make a movie about sharks in general but mostly the Great White. The White doesn't make an appearance until very late in the book. Reasonable writing. Worth buying used as part of a general survey of Great Whites, whaling, early underwater film making, et. Matthiessen hadn't quite devolved to his present status as a venerated but unreadable author, though the book has it's frustrations.
