"Frank Sinatra comes vividly back to life in Tony Consiglio's Sinatra and Me... Wordsmith Franz Douskey, to whom (Consiglio) tells his story, wisely gives Tony's voice free rein.
It's as if, instead of reading a book, you're sitting across from Tony in a booth at Sally's Pizza, enjoying a slice and a glass
of chianti as he regales you with his amazing anecdotes.
I began reading Sinatra and Me knowing the legend;
I finished it knowing the man"


​ - Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True.

Tony's friendship with Sinatra allowed him to rub elbows with the Hollywood elite, including Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Kim Novak, Ava Gardner, and many others. It also brought him close to the political world of the early 1960's, when Sinatra campaigned for John F. Kennedy and then helped plan the Kennedy inauguration.
