Leave the gun. Take the cannoli...and the archives.



The late Mario Puzo's estate is auctioning off a wealth of material associated with The Godfather author.

The collection includes--but isn't limited to--a 744 page draft of the novel, handwritten outlines, the 1965 Olympia typewriter Puzo used to create the epic, and letters he wrote to Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the movies that forever made us an offer we can't refuse. (The auction actually includes the working movie script that quotes that line as well.)

The 45 boxes of archives will be sold as together, with a pre-auction estimate of $400,000.

And you thought getting killed over your cannoli was expensive.
