What's your book about? Is it factual stuff about the Mafia or is it a novel?


What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!

I've always wanted to get hold of that book but its very rare to come upon nowadayds. I think its out of print.

As far as I know I think its the notes and research that Mario came across when writing the Godfather. Tell me if i'm way off the mark.


So die all who betray Giuliano

It's a book of autiobiographical essays on various topics, including Puzo's life and experiences, including writing The Godfather.

I'm moving this to the Puzo/Other Books forum...

I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

it's worth whatever anyone wants to pay for it.

(a good place to find out of print books is your local library, especially if they're part of an interlibrary exchange program)

Its weird...my town has a very small library, and I can go get it at mine. Its an interesting read...kinda gives you a look into Puzo's life and the events that shaped him as a writer.
