While I'd have preferred more than 20 pages of biography and quite a bit more archival material (letters, etc.), this is a fine survey of Frank's notable opinions (quite dated, to be honest) and groundbreaking books (I agree with Glennon: only Courts on Trial really stands the test of time). It's a shame that L. Hand and J. Frank (and later D. Bazelon, Skelly Wright, H. Friendly, D. Ginsburg, R. Bork, R. Posner, A. Kozinski) stewed on the circuits while a bunch of ciphers won geographical/party-driven appointments to the Supreme Court.
