The Godfather Family Album - Reviews
"Die 444 Seiten zeigen alle Ikonen aus Francis Ford Coppolas Godfather-Trilogie: Marlon Brando, Diane Keaton, Al Pacino usw. Interviews, Hintergrundberichte, und dann hat Steve Schapiro, edler Erschaffer des limitierten Godfather Family Album das Ding auch noch mit seinem Schnörkel versehen ... Good value."Faces, ZürichSwitzerland |

"TASCHEN's new, super-limited book documents the making of what I would argue is one of the best film series ever (the first two anyway). Each of the 100 "art edition" copies include over 400 never-before-seen images from Steve Schapiro as well as an 11x14 print (see below) signed by Schapiro himself. 444 pages full of interviews, essays and the moments that defined some of the best lines and images in film history. Only $1,800, so get two."Ironsider.blogspot.com, DoverUnited Kingdom |

“Uma oferta irrecusable. Steve Schapiro teve uma sorte dos diabos: a oportunidade de assitir as filmagens da melhor trilogia de sempre, O Padrinho. E, no processo, fotografar alguns dos melhores actores de Hollywood enguanto estes compunham papéis memoráveis. O resultado pode agora ser visto pela primeira vez no livro The Godfather family Album.”GQ, LisbonPortugal |

„Fotograf Steve Schapiro begleitete die Dreharbeiten aller drei Teile und stellte für diesen Band – neben den legendären Standfotos der Schauspieler – eine Vielzahl bisher unveröffentlichter Fotos, die am Set entstanden, zur Verfügung: von Al Pacino beim Handballspielen bis zum mit explodierenden Blutbeuteln präparierten James Caan gibt es alles, was das Herz begehrt. Als wäre das nicht schon Luxus genug, hat Schapiro auch noch jedes einzelne Exemplar der auf 1000 Stück limitierten Veröffentlichung handsigniert. Weiters versammelt der halbledergebundene Prachtband Texte des Godfather-Romanautors Mario Puzo sowie Interviews mit Marlon Brando, Al Pacino und Francis Ford Coppola.“Ray Filmmagazin, WienAustria |

"Ce que je veux, moi, c’est le livre relié sur "le Parrain" avec les photos inédites de Steve Schapiro. Ils appellent ça The Godfather Family Album et, dedans, il y a des milliers de photos sublimes servant à la fois d’hommage sincère, de document indispensable et d’objet culte. Bon, c’est tiré à 1000 exemplaires et ça coûtait 500 €, mais l’éditeur TASCHEN vient de nous faire savoir qu’il ne reste plus que quelques exemplaires collectors de 1250 €. Le magazine « Technikart » a donc décidé d’organiser une collecte de dons de façon à ce que Léonard Haddad puisse se l’offrir, en ces temps difficiles de crise internationale. Ayez du cœur, mesdames, mesdemoiselles, messieurs, je ne serai pas ingrat."Technikart, ParisFrance |

„Der Fotograf Steve Schapiro war bei sämtlichen Dreharbeiten dabei.
