The Open Book Alliance will work to advance and protect this promise. And, by protecting it, we will assert that any mass book digitization and publishing effort be open and competitive. The process of achieving this promise must be undertaken in the open, grounded in sound public policy and mindful of the need to promote long-term benefits for consumers rather than isolated commercial interests.</p> <p>The Open Book Alliance will counter Google, the Association of American Publishers and the Authors' Guild's scheme to monopolize the access, distribution and pricing of the largest digital database of books in the world. To this end, we will promote fair and flexible solutions aimed at achieving a more robust and open system.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43404 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/43404 <p>This is an experimental tool that lets people compare what book covers are available through different APIs.

This work is not so mucha response to the film &ldquo;The Godfather&rdquo; as it is a reaction to those that have seen the film and can not distinguish between reality and fiction or are simply content to place stereotypical </p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The first story in the book is that of Louise Desalvo called &ldquo;Finding My Way&rdquo; and his experiences as a young boy growing up in Hoboken, New Jersey and going to grammar school. This interesting little story shows how important education was this Italian American family and the pride that they felt to become integrated into American society as opposed to the extra legal activities that you would experience in &ldquo;The Godfather.&rdquo; Moreover, his real-life experiences at school prove him to be quite astute and polite. This quaint story ends as it had began ground in the real experience of family, one that has no connection to the mafia.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This book takes a step back from the stereotypes that one might decide to adopt from the portrayals of Italian Americans in The Godfather. Understanding the distinction is important not only because stereotyping a group of people is ignorant, but because in realizing that the book or the movie are a work of fiction should increase one&rsquo;s appreciation of the work. <span>&nbsp;</span></p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/26871 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/26871 <div class="mlacite">Phillips, Gene D. .<span style="text-decoration: underline">Godfather : the intimate Francis Ford Coppola / Gene D.

However, based on current events such as Senator Etes Kefauver&rsquo;s Committee on Organized Crime and the publicity of Mafiosi Frank Costello, Paramount decided to take a chance on its production. </div><div class="mlacite"> Francis Ford Coppola was chosen to direct <em>The Godfather</em> due to his Italian ancestry. Paramount wanted an Italian American director because they wanted to make the film as realistic as possible, and only an Italian American could convey the subtleties of the culture. Although initially opposed to producing the screenplay, Coppola became enamored with the storyline that was based on the unity and strength of the family. </div><div class="mlacite"> Throughout the production Coppola battled with others in order for his vision to be expressed. First, money was an issue with Paramount as Coppola&rsquo;s budget was small. During the filming his ideas would conflict with others in regards to the cinematography and editing of the film. After the film was finished, he received criticism for glorifying organized crime and celebrating violence. </div><div class="mlacite"> Despite all of these problems, Coppola&rsquo;s persistence helped create a film that became highly acclaimed. Through his passion and attention to detail, he was able to create a magnificent movie, which went on to become one of the most successful films of all time. Based the time period and current events surrounding the film, <em>The Godfather</em> was able to capture the imagination of everyone.</div><div class="mlacite"> <br /></div><br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/26776 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/26776 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/26663 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/26663 I See Dead People['s Books]<p>Description: A group for those interested and involved in entering the library catalogs of famous readers.</p><p>Includes Thomas Jeferson, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Marie Antoinette, Sylvia Plath and more </p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/25702 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/25702 &quot;Each fall YBP publishes a report on price and output for new books published during our prior fiscal year.
