Looks like a ton of good stuff in here.

 

$700!?! Eh, buy a flat screen TV instead ...

 

I was gonna say, for $700, it better come with some of Brando's ashes or something.

 

I love The Godfather probably more than I should but I am not spending a month's rent on a book.

 

The price is an insult to humanity.

 

In this year's Neiman Marcus catalog:

We're making you an offer you can't refuse. Delivered to your doorstep will be a gold-embossed, gilded copy of "The Godfather Family Album," signed by Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and stars Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and the ghost of Marlon Brando. Mr. Caan and Ms. Shire also will re-enact in your living room the most overacted scene in movie history in which Sonny Corleone (Caan) devours his fist upon seeing his younger sister Connie (Shire) has been abused by her husband.

Cost: $75,000

 

I'm naive.
Are you being sarcastic? Or it this for real?
This is one of this things that is so unbelievable it might be true.

 

It's real. The book is indeed signed by the ghost of Marlon Brando.

 

I believe the economy mitigates somewhat against the purchase of this fine American product.
Leave the book. Take the cannoli.

 

And let me be even more frank, to show you I'm not a hard-hearted guy, that it's not all dollars and cents — it was the book I ever read, and I've read 'em all over the world!

 

For $700, it better come with Abe Vigoda himself.
