"Lovely book, but not a definitive biography" according to steve_manassas. This book, written by Charles Pignone, and published by Thames & Hudson, in cooperation with the Sinatra Family and Estate, is a lovely way to commemorate Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday. The main attraction is the hundreds of photographs from the Sinatra archives, covering his life from his childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, to his 1998 death. The text is rather limited to a mini-biography by Pignone, a foreword by Frank's best friend, Tony Bennett, another foreword by Steve Wynn, owner of the Las Vegas Golden Nugget nightclub, where Frank sang in the 1980s, and afterwords by each of Frank's three kids -.

It is on their coffee for all to browse. Beautiful pictures. The only draw back is that the type in the blurbs on each page is very small type for the size the paper, leaving more white space than necessary. Get your reading glasses out. Overall, it's a beautiful depiction of Sinatra's life. Not a bio so don't expect that. It is a pictorial of his life, work and family. Very glad I bought this instead of a bio.
