From the Publisher:

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 Sinatra’s 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 Sinatra’s 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.

Charles Pignone, once a close friend of Sinatra, is the archivist for the Sinatra family, as well as the producer of liner notes for several Sinatra albums. He lives in Los Angeles.
