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.

Just think, an automatic nostalgia collection without the expense! This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone into the CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD! In short, a SINATRA FAN is NOT completeLY 'WHOLE' without this great book.
If you're a Sinatra fan, you have to have this book!:
This is the book for those who are truly his loyal fans. My purchase is for a friend who adored his style, grace and music. The book includes momentos such as programs, rare photos and memorbilia captured and preserved in such a way it will be a must have for the avid collector. I was very impressed with the fast delivery and packaging. In fact, I will be buying another book to add to my library as this comprehensive edition is too wonderful to give away!
"He thought and sang like a horn.":
Always fascinated by the great instrumentalists, especially horn players who never took an obvious breath while playing, Sinatra tried from his earliest days to emulate them, swimming laps and jogging, long before it became fashionable, to increase his lung capacity. His smooth delivery and classic phrasing, resulting from these efforts, are among his hallmarks. Though facts like this may fill other books about Sinatra, this book is completely unique, more a family scrapbook than an ordinary book--a... more info
