Anthony, you may be encountering problems with Barnes & Noble because they sell books that are currently in print, and GF novel may not be in print now. However, I STRONGLY recommend that you go to abebooks.com and cruise them for a used copy. In fact, here are the first three, of many, entries for The Godfather. I've purchased several books from their sellers, and they've always been reliable:
