outstanding job."-Bill Peterson President American Federation of

?I can only say what a wonderful treasure this book is.?-Journal of
the International Sinatra Society
?This book proved to be an eye-opener....The book goes beyond just
being a "look it up" reference as the compiler was in touch with
Billy and there are many occassions where correspondence is cited.
It makes for good, and often fun, reading. Billy May is much more
amazing to me today than he was yesterday, and that is going
some.?-IAJRC Journal
