This is a great encyclopedia for any Sinatra fan. It is a well-organized compilation of every song and album that Sinatra ever recorded. It also provides interesting tidbits about the recording sessions, arrangers, and the songs. In addition, the book chronicles his movies, television appearances, and numerous awards. As a Sinatra fanatic, I frequently use the book to reference back to songs, albums, and or movies that I have recently experienced.

When I got this book I think I was disappointed, dry text, not very good quality of the pictures. But then I realized the colossal worth of this encyclopedia. Leonard Mustazza'd did a tremendous effort to collect information about the Sinatra's work. The most important information is about the recordings in the studio, with dates, stories of songs, a lot of technical data. Without this encyclopedia it is impossible to understand the enormous contribution of the great singer made in show business, the music industry. I constantly use this book as information guide. I belive it's one of the most important books on the Sinatra work that should have every his fan.
