Just curious if any other people have a real copy of this book that was the inspiration for the album art work. I have one and every 6-8 months I look over it and read some of the crazy shit in it! If you own it and read it you'll know what I'm talking about.

    I've been watching these on the bay. One day I will get one. I think it's an amazing book! I don't remember what the whole thing was behind using it for the artwork, but I remember that I was super fascinated by the Vitalogy booklet. Very interesting stuff.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Despite several years in the used book business and working in a store averaging between 350,000 and 400,000 titles I've never come across a copy of Vitalogy. Someday, I hope!

    I have a 1922 edition in really good condition. Love all the foldout sections. I need to start reading it more! The few things I've read made me chuckle! :))

    I have one in my basement somewhere! I'm in the process of looking through boxes in order to declutter. I've already found a Mother Love Bone VHS and a tape cassette bootleg of PJs 4/3/94 show...hope to find Vitalogy soon :)
