The untitled book will be published by Harmony Books, a division of Random House, in fall 2005 and will recount anecdotes from the making of the eight films the two have worked on together since 1973: "Mean Streets," "Taxi Driver," "New York, New York," "Raging Bull," "The King of Comedy," "Goodfellas," "Cape Fear" (above) and "Casino."
Although both men grew up in the same New York neighborhood, they didn't meet until 1970 and began working together shortly thereafter.

Shabby chic shop
A tiny, funky shop, Le Chateau, just opened in Manoa. It's all about shabby chic.
Merchandise includes vintage looks in home furnishings, quilts and baby things. Owner Kami Lizares makes frilly, feminine baby clothes from pieced fabrics. Designer Dana Wheat of "Two Hula Girls & a Surfer" turns vintage handkerchiefs into one-of-a-kind baby dresses, jackets and pants.
Le Chateau is at 2740 E. Manoa Road, next to Boston's North End Pizza in the old Shell Service station. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
