The Rat Pack: a book of photos of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr

A limited edition book of private photos of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack has been published by Reel Art Press. Many of these images have been stored away, some even undeveloped. Some of the pictures - never intended to be published - were recovered from a box of negatives found in an agent's office.

The Rat Pack is a limited, numbered edition of 2250, and comes in three versions. The Master Edition costs £400; the Deluxe Edition (which comes in a wooden box together with a limited edition photo) is available for £1,000; while the Heritage Edition (in a handmade wooden box, signed by all three key contributors, and with its own rare, vintage photograph) sells for £2,500 to £5,000, depending on the photograph selected. This picture gallery features some of the images taken from The Rat Pack, www.reelartpress.com
