To All the Piano Players Out There...

Can anyone recommend a decent sheet music anthology of songs recorded by Frank Sinatra? I know there are a number of them on the market but while those books are exhaustive in their song selection, the chosen arrangements are lackluster stock arrangements and horribly bland to say the least. The melody is almost always present in the right hand and that is not condusive to accompaniment for voice.

More specifically, I'm looking for a book of Sinatra songs with charts that more closely resemble the dynamic Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Gordon Jenkins arrangements of the great Capitol years. I'm sure big band orchestra charts like this exist, but has anyone ever taken the time to do the same transcriptions for the piano? Does such a book exist?
Peace,
Pete
