The Godfather Family Album (November 1, 2008)
by Paul Duncan (Editor), Steve Schapiro (Photographer)



Product Description
Selections from photographer Steve Schapiro's archives provide an insider's view of the making of the legendary trilogy. This edition is limited to 1,000 copies, each numbered and signed by Steve Schapiro.

Imagine the experience of witnessing renowned actors as they made their most memorable performances. Steve Schapiro has had such a privilege as special photographer on some of American cinema's most beloved movies. For Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy, he immortalized actors such as Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton. Brought together in a book for the first time is a vast selection of images from all three Godfather films, selected from Schaprio's archives.

This lavish, leather-bound limited edition book allows fans a privileged peek behind the scenes in the making of film history.

Steve Schapiro is a distinguished journalistic photographer whose work is found in many museum collections and has been published in his books American Edge and Schapiro's Heroes. His photographs have appeared on the covers of most major magazines in the world including Life, Look, Time, Sports Illustrated, Paris Match, and the first People magazine cover. Schapiro followed the civil rights struggle in America, traveled with Bobby Kennedy and has done numerous photo essays on human affairs from the art scene in New York, migrant workers, Vietnam veterans and everything from poodles to Presidents. In Hollywood he has worked on more than 200 motion pictures; his most famous film posters are for Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Parenthood, and The Godfather Part III.

About the Author
Paul Duncan has seen lots of films and read lots of comics and books. He wanted to share his enthusiasm for these subjects so he published magazines about comics (Ark) and crime fiction (Crime Time) before launching a series of small film guides (Pocket Essentials). He has edited more than 40 film books for TASCHEN, and wrote Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick in the Film Series.

Order Now (Released November 1, 2008)

Yes, I feel like a fool, but I pre-ordered a copy.


Supposedly there are two other editions, limited to 100 copies each, that include signed prints. Can't imagine what THAT would cost. [Edit: $4000]

The book looks and sounds great, but a bit too much for me im afraid..

Too much for me, too, but how can I not?

OMG I have to pass on this to much $$

I'll just borrow your copy ok Geoffy?

I can't imagine myself reading that one in the bathroom!

It has the Appolonia pic in high resolution. Definitely bathroom material.

But you won't go to the dentist???

$700??

Not even if it came with a blowjob from Apollonia.

I'll pass on a $700 book.

I got a few acres of prime swampland property in Florida for sale. You interested?

Danito: Now the price of the book is less than 50 dollars, am I right?
Schapiro: That's right.
Danito: Now why would I ever consider paying more than that?
Schapiro: Because I intend to squeeze you.

You're either rich, stupid, or both!

Nope, just stupid.

...there's plenty of time to cancel it if I have to, though.

Wellllllllll maybe.....

This is an offer I CAN refuse.

Of course not. She's dead!

She's still alive.

(Five blowjobs, and she's still alive). [/Sollozzo imitation]

Welcome back Consigliere.

Thank you, JL!

So how was Sicily SC?

Very strange.... guys kept coming up to me saying, "Clark Gable, America".

How much did benzina cost for that Alfa Romeo you were driving?

Didn't cost me a dime.... I was using Appolonia's car. It rode a little rough, but it was powered by an internal COMBUSTION engine that didn't need gas.

Nice! The price is now down to $506.60.
I feel only slightly less queasy about it...

Just like Ade!

Considering she's not 16 anymore, I'm sure that you could get that without even having to pay for the book.

Back up to $576.60

Screw this. I just can't justify this purchase, especially after a root canal and 2 crowns coming up. I've had to cancel it.

For that price you'd think it was printed in gold! I gotta admit it would be really cool to own. Atleast it's not as expensive as this book about the UFC. It costs $2,500.00!

Just checked how they were selling since they were released November 1st, and they're out of stock ...and back up to $600.40

According to Tower Books and Barnes & Noble, it isn't coming out until December. (I know Amazon says 11/01)
