Just curious to all the people who have far out PJ collections like reenk roink, blue VS vinyl, basketball ten, steel sheep VS promo, etc. Do you own a copy of Vitalogy the health book.

I realize it is not that rare since it was a commonly printed book, but I was wondering if people felt they needed it to "complete" the collection.

    Someone bought me an inexpensive paperback copy of it cause they saw it in a book store some years back. . That said, NO I wont seek out an original or older hardback version to "complete the circle"...:)

    ps...still need a blue vs. vinyl if anyone has an extra! ;)

    I have one of the original ones

    not the reprint
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I bought one on amazon a few months ago. It's a new edition and it was cheap. For the price (around $10), I thought I needed one.

    this one is dated 1926

    No, personally I dont, its not a Pearl Jam item.

    On that reckoning I would need to go and buy a basketball....

    a sheep thats a bit twisted,

    cut myself like the No code polaroid

    pinch a yield sign....

    you can see where I'm going with this

    But I do have the hardback vitalogy notebook that PJ used as a promo!!!!

    I'd rather like a blue V's also, but I will; wait patiently behind Scott as he got in there first!!

    Oh and the ten basketball vinyl if that is what you are referring to, really doesnt come close to the reeenk or the v's blue.....

    Very good funny read if you have some extra time.

    I still need to get ishmael for yeild and give that a read. any links to a good spot to pick it up?
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I got a perfect condition one from the 1930s for like $15 online like 4 months ago. I think if you search a little bit, used bookstores have them, and it's not a high demand item. Most of the stores that are selling that type of thing don't even associate it with Pearl Jam in any way, so you can get it cheap if you look. It's a funny book, but not worth dropping $100 or anything, IMO.

    I don't have any of this stuff. I do have a paperback cover of the health book, fun read when your bored.
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?
