where can i find a original copy of the godfather

ok im looking for an original copy of the godfather its a big part of my family conversation supposedly my great grandmother gets special thanks in the book because of her side of the family and i want an original copy of it. she married my great grandfather because her dad had someone try to recruite him when he got off the boat at ellis island he married her and got a job as a engineer at the railroad and wouldnt have anything to do with that life and im on a hunt for my roots.

I'm pretty sure that Somalian down on 12th Street has some reliable copies.

Go to www.abebooks.com They are a major seller of used books. They probably have a zillion copies of the GF novel. The descriptions for each book for sale will state if it's a first edition.

Check out this one on Abebooks :
