Present day collectors of Martin's etchings and woodcuts include Elton John and Michael Caine.
	During his career Frank Martin was also commissioned to illustrate a number of books with his etchings and woodcuts. These include, The Bedside Book of the Art of Living (1959), Hollywood Continental and Newhaven-Dieppe: Recollections and some History of the Town of Dieppe (1996).
