“I must say that I don’t remember many of the things talked about in this text quite in the same way. I do realize that our memories are not really reliable as I have been shocked in the past that things weren’t the way I thought they were. That is my thinking about some of the things I just read in this book — but the text is not what’s important; it’s Chas' stunning photos, that bring back the experience.” -Francis Ford Coppola
