About This Item

Garden City, NY International Collectors Library, 1969. Hardcover Standard "Collectors Library" Edition (1969). Very Good+: the front free endpaper has been neatly removed; else shows only a touch of wear to the extremities; the pages have tanned ever so slightly due to aging. The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels - but that may well be why the front free endpaper was removed. A handsome nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a the very mildest wear and a single remarkable flaw. Bright and Clean. A handsome reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.5 x 5.75 x 1.3 inches). vi, 303 pages. Weight: 1 pound. Standard "Collectors Library" Edition [1937]. Sewn-in blue silk ribbon marker. Deckle Fore-Edge. Deep blue boards with gilt titles and designs. Standard "Collectors Library" Edition (1969). Hardback: No DJ 'as issued'.

Synopsis

The Godfather is a classic crime novel by Mario Puzo, detailing the story of a fictional Mafia family in New York in the 1940s and 1950s. This novel introduced America to the first family of crime fiction - the Corleones, and it remains a classic in American popular culture. Power, greed, and family loyalty all play out in this portrayal of the mafia underworld. Author Mario Puzo wrote the book based on his personal need for the cash advance, and the paperback rights for The Godfather went on to sell for a record $410,000. The mega-blockbuster 1972 film directed by Francis Ford Coppola featured Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and James Caan, among others.
