Having assumed this was long out of print, to my delight I found this book when I was in the States a few weeks back. smile LOVED the unseen production photos, and it certainly put a new spin on the (already) fascinating production process behind the original GF. grin Would have liked more info on GF2 and GF3, but I cannot recommend this book enough - great read! There is just not enough Godfather 'Making Of' books out there.

Is there any chance Harlan might come back for another chat on the GF chatroom? Wonder what he thought of The Godfather Returns...

I've been meaning to read this forever, but I've heard great things about it. Now I'm truly motivated to get it.

A must for anyone who's a serious poster here.

Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

I bought it a couple years ago on a trip to California. A very informative and quick read. I read the entire book during the duration of my flight home. As Turnbull stated, it's a must for any Godfather fan.

Cracking book and unless I dreamt it (which is a possibility because I've been confusing a lot of things for dreams lately) I think JG said something recently about Lebo revisiting the book for an update. JG should get him back for a Q and A session around the time of its release.

Thats right. One of Lebo's reasons for visiting Geoff's site was to verify certain facts that he wasn't sure of. About two months ago he (Lebo) wrote that the "update" is done and he expects it'll be available (for sale) in October.

I just bought the original Godfather Legacy from Ebay. Anyone who has the newer copy, how do the two compare?

One of the best places to go on the net for cheap books would be A1. The newest book is on A1books.com for about $10.

Check it out!

I just ordered a copy of the newest version at my local bookstore today. It should be here in a week to 10 days. I can hardly wait.

Check out Lebo's "With Thanks" page at the beginning. He mentions Geoff and these boards!

Friend of mine saw the book, Australian $13.50 including postage! and purchased the book, commemorating The Godfather's 25 Anniversary, with Michael on the cover, for me
Fireside book published by Simon & Schuster publishing New York [TM & c 1997 US $15]

I couldn't find any mention of “Geoff and these boards!” in the "With Thanks" page at the beginning

There are Harlan Lebo's – editor, agent, doctor, friend, colleague, wife and Margaret Herrick Library, Paramount, Studio Photo service but....

Please where am I not looking?! or perhaps my book is different version? or

There's a terrific web site, too, about this. Search Google for the Godfather website hosted by JGeoff It's called the "official" one because it was endorsed by Puzo before he died. Excellent reference, and good discussion there too. One of the things they discuss is the use of oranges in the movie. Fun stuff.
I know! the post is more than seven years old!....Wow! Is the above true? Why wasn't it endorsed by Coppola as well?!
Puzo died in July 1999 This forum seems to have been founded in July 2001 though

I always knew this board is super-duper but Wow! Sensational indeed
