Signed book: The Godfather. First UK edition. London: Heinemann, 1969. Hardcover with dust jacket, 6 x 8.75, 446 pages. Signed on the title page in black felt tip, "Make me an offer I can't refuse, Mario Puzo." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG+/VG, with the dust jacket's spine slightly darkened and a few minor edge nicks. Puzo adapts The Godfather's famous line—'I’ll make him an offer he can't refuse'—for this presentation inscription, elevating an already desirable piece. The novel would be adapted for the screen in 1972, becoming one of the most celebrated films ever created: the film won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay (for Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola).
