Reviews
" The Godfather Notebook [is] an exact reproduction of [Coppola's prompt book], right down to the handwriting, plus rarely seen photos." -- The Hollywood Reporter, "This production diary includes . . . notes for himself and others on what he was trying to achieve in each scene, notes for actors, thoughts about all aspects of the production." -- Leah Garchik, San Francisco Chronicle, "When Francis Ford Coppola was preparing to shoot  The Godfather , he took a razor blade to Mario Puzo's 1969 book, cut out every page, and pasted them into a notebook. Then he scribbled in the margins and underlined important passages, while slashing others. For each section he planned to film, he included notes on synopsis, texture, tone, and pitfalls to avoid. That 700-plus-page notebook has been made available for the first time in this reproduction, which includes an introduction by Coppola himself. It's  a stunning document of an iconic film, and a rare behind-the-scenes look at Coppola's creative process. " --NPR BEST BOOK OF 2016, " The Godfather Notebook  [is] an exact reproduction of [Coppola's prompt book], right down to the handwriting, plus rarely seen photos." -- The Hollywood Reporter, "[A] nifty document of film history . . .

Synopsis
THE PUBLISHING SENSATION OF THE YEAR FOR EVERY FILM FAN The never-before-published edition of Francis Ford Coppola's notes and annotations on The Godfather novel by Mario Puzo reveals the story behind one of the world's most iconic films. The most important unpublished work on one of the greatest films of all time, The Godfather , written before filming, by the man who wrote and directed it--Francis Ford Coppola, then only thirty-two years old--reveals the intense creative process that went into making this seminal film. With his meticulous notes and impressions of Mario Puzo's novel, the notebook was referred to by Coppola daily on set while he directed the movie. The Godfather Notebook pulls back the curtain on the legendary filmmaker and the film that launched his illustrious career. Complete with an introduction by Francis Ford Coppola and exclusive photographs from on and off the set, this is a unique, beautiful, and faithful reproduction of Coppola's original notebook. This publication will change the way the world views the iconic film--and the process of filmmaking at large. A must-have book of the season. Nothing like it has ever been published before.
