    • This book is what great writing is all about

      I have just about every book written about Frank Sinatra, and the late Pete Hamill's work tops them all. If you're enthralled by the English language in the hands of a master, this is it. Hamill was a grand lyricist and master of the anecdote. For those reasons, you'll read this book again and again at a price you can't say no to.
