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 The most important unpublished work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.
