Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There have been all kinds of Sinatra compilations of gorgeous songs interpreted by this legendary singer, but this dignified and loving tribute to Frank Sinatra is the most wonderful retrospective I've ever seen. The book contains quotes and photos, many never released until now, and reprints of some amazing memorabilia all neatly sleeved and achived in the most organized and dignified fashion. This was put together with great care, attention-to-detail, time and sincerity.
The cd included is not a recompilation you've already heard before but there is actually an excerpt from an early radio show and some touching songs that really exemplify the extraordinary talent of Frank Sinatra.
If you have any sentiment for Sinatra's effect on our culture you have to peruse through this book. Incredible.
Top pick for Holiday gifts of '04.

The first-ever collection from the archives of the legendary Chairman of the Board, filled with never-before-seen photos, letters, mementos, and more. What is a legend? A legend is a man who, more than 65 years after stepping on stage for the first time, is still larger than life. A man who changed the way we wear our hats. A man possessed not of a voice, but The Voice. Frank Sinatra is a legend. Created in conjunction with the Frank Sinatra Estate, THE SINATRA TREASURES tells the story of Sinatras life with rare and never-before-published quotes from those he loved and those he worked with--and from the Chairman of the Board himself. More than 200 black-and-white and full-color images from several Sinatra archives, as well as 30 removable facsimile reproductions of items, such as a script from one of his radio shows and a Sinatra family photo album, provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Sinatras world and talent. Also included is a new compilation CD of rare interviews, early radio appearances, and songs. This celebration of the many elements of Frank Sinatra--as singer, as actor, as humanitarian, as friend--brings to life as never before the man who made the standards standard.
