Selections from Steve Schapiro’s photographs provide an insider’s view of the making of the legendary trilogy. 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, Schapiro immortalised actors such as Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall,and Diane Keaton. His photographs of the Godfather holding the cat and the whisper in the Godfather’s ear have become iconic images known throughout the world. Brought together in a book for the first time is a vast selection of images from all three Godfather films, reproduced from Schapiro’s original negatives.
This lavish limited-edition book, which also includes background articles and interviews about the films, contains over 400 colour and black-and-white images, most of which have never been published before. It allows fans a privileged peek behind the scenes at the making of film history, and it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime offer you can’t refuse.
The photographer
Steve Schapiro’s career as a freelance photojournalist started with a story on Arkansas migrant workers that made the cover of the The New York Times Magazine in 1961. Since then, his images have appeared in Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and many other publications. In the 1970s, he began a second career as a successful publicity stills and movie poster photographer, working on classic films such as Taxi Driver, The Way We Were, and The Godfather. He died in 2022.

Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon
What an unusual andfantastic book. So interesting and beautifully presented and bound. What a wonderful project.
Brilliant book and price
The Great William Hogarth.
Informative book.
Independent bookshop run by Guy, great books great value prices !
Really impressed with this book store. The prices are very good, my order was delivered quickly, and there’s a brilliant variety of interesting titles to choose from. A smooth, reliable experience from start to finish.
I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Great communication, and book exactly as described
I wasn’t aware these books existed until I came across your web site,both great especially the book about the Colston Hall
Quality and speed of delivery excellent
Always very prompt service, well-packed delivery, a great place to get good books, including those I never knew I wanted 😄, at a discounted price!
Amazing compilation of the great fanzine Jamming! Edited by Tony Fletcher. Well worth buying!
A favourite artist so it was a pleasure to see such good reproductions and the working drawings leading up to the final painting. The individual essays were interesting and free of jargon
