Synopsis:

Drawing from the Sinatra family's private archive, Frank Sinatra: The Family Album vividly chronicles the private life of an iconic American star. Accompanied by unique firsthand recollections and stories from Nancy Sinatra and other family and close friends, these color and black-and-white images are bound in an elegant package designed in the form of a family album.

Sinatra fans will see the star clowning with his accompanist, relaxing on the sets of his movies, vacationing with his family on the beach - and those are just a handful of more 100 other images, many of them taken by Sinatra himself. Intimate, comprehensive and elegantly presented, Frank Sinatra: The Family Album follows Sinatra from infancy to 80 with the pictures and behind-the-curtain stories that only a family can provide - and that fans love.

Charles Pignone, the author of The Sinatra Treasures, is the archivist for the Sinatra family. His duties include organizing and maintaining the enormous stores of photographs and memorabilia collected over the course of Sinatra's life, as well as producing liner notes for several Sinatra albums. Pignone has been the president of America's largest Sinatra fan club since 1984.
