Commemorating what would have been Ol' Blue Eyes' 100th birthday this Dec. 12, Sinatra is as grand a volume as the legacy of the legendary singer and actor, who was no stranger to Miami Beach during his cabaret days. Curated by Amanda Erlinger, Sinatra's granddaughter, the 400-page volume is the ultimate must for any serious fan and collector. Limited to 1,000 copies and available starting this month, the tome includes a wealth of unseen photos from the family's archives (many, including self portraits, taken by Sinatra himself) as well as anecdotes from contributors like Martin Scorsese, George Clooney and Paul McCartney, among others. The edition comes in a clam-shell case and is signed by his children: Nancy, Frank Jr. and Tina. A collectible page-turner in every way. Miami Magazine, October 2015 But it is the portrayal of Sinatra as a family man that Erlinger says makes this book unique: 'He was a father, grandfather, husband and friend and a man with an enormous heart.' -- Laurie Brookins The Hollywood Reporter, May 2015
