THE PUBLISHING SENSATION OF THE YEAR FOR EVERY FILM FAN The never-before-published edition of
Francis Ford Coppola’s notes and annotations on The Godfather novel by Mario Puzo reveals the
story behind one of the world’s most iconic films. The most important unpublished work on one
of the greatest films of all time The Godfather written before filming by the man who wrote
and directed it—Francis Ford Coppola then only thirty-two years old—reveals the intense
creative process that went into making this seminal film. With his meticulous notes and
impressions of Mario Puzo’s novel the notebook was referred to by Coppola daily on set while
he directed the movie. The Godfather Notebook pulls back the curtain on the legendary filmmaker
and the film that launched his illustrious career. Complete with an introduction by Francis
Ford Coppola and exclusive photographs from on and off the set this is a unique beautiful
and faithful reproduction of Coppola’s original notebook. This publication will change the way
the world views the iconic film—and the process of filmmaking at large. A must-have book of the
season. Nothing like it has ever been published before.
