Here is the familiar rehearsal of the bobby-soxerdays, the near breakdown, the famous comeback, the alleged Mafia conncections,Il Padrone, the professional life of a musical genius."--The FinancialTimes, "Not just a capsulized and literate history of Frankie, Ol' Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, the book also is a compendium of fascinating facts."--Chicago Tribune, "Make way for Frank Sinatra, who just turned 80 years old.... [One] of thebest new [books is] The Frank Sinatra Reader, a collection of essays by literatilike Pete Hamill, Gene Lees, and Whitney Balliett.... In an era intoxicated withdiversity and separatism, Frank Sinatra may well be the last entertainer onearth that everybody likes."--The Wall Street Journal, "A lively collection of magazine articles and book excerpts by musiccritics and journalists that spans Sinatra's half-century-long career. Thecontents range from 1940s New Yorker and New Republic articles recounting theearly, bobby-soxer days to critic Will Friedwald's program notes to a July 1995all-star tribute at Carnegie Hall."--Booklist, "A lively collection of magazine articles and book excerpts by music critics and journalists that spans Sinatra's half-century-long career.

Compiled by two professors ofAmerican studies it contains essays and articles spanning the entirety of hiscareer. The writers range from Stephen Holden and John Rockwell of the New YorkTimes to fellow performers like Rosalind Russell and Harry Connick Jr."--LibraryJournal, "An eclectic anthology with entries dated from 1944 to 1995, drawing on journalism as well as books and popular song....The book's strength is that it illuminates the subject from many angles."--Seattle Weekly, "Not just a capsulized and literate history of Frankie, Ol' Blue Eyes, theChairman of the Board, the book also is a compendium of fascinatingfacts."--Chicago Tribune, "An exemplary collection of essays, articles, and book excerpts edited by Steven Petkov and Leonard Mustazza.... Most of the best pieces written about Mr. Sinatra since 1944 are included in this wide-ranging anthology, some famous (Gay Talese's "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold") and some familiaronly to aficionados (Neil McCaffrey's "I Remember Frankeee"), and all very much worth reading."--Terry Teachout, The New York Times Book Review, "A most balanced picture of [Frank Sinatra].

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!
