Easily the best thing the band put out related to PJ20. Every fan will learn something from that book. Very insightful. I should pull it out and read it again.
Has anyone read Mudhoneys Sound and the Fury book ? Whole different perspective of Pearl jam starting out
No, I saw the documentary on Mudhoney, that's it
The book is a guide line for any small business on how to keep your product pure and what mistakes come up with corporate tampering . The movie was boring . We had a party and were expecting PJ20 but got the equivalent of Real estate today video .
My wife got it for me for Christmas the year it came out and as she was giving it to me, she sheepishly said, "I don't know if you're going to like this" [not sure why] and when I opened it, I'm like, "Of course I will love it - it's about my all time favorite band". Seconds later, I open the book and right down the middle binding on the inside cover is ME..[see my profile pic here, I am right in the middle with a bandana around my wrist - it's from Lolla 07]. So I immediately blurt out, "Oh, there I am", and my wife goes, "Shut the fuck up!!!". So, yes, I've read it - it's amazing! Also, telling this story never gets old. I need to go read it again!

I've always wondered if any members noticed themselves in the book. super cool.

I did when it came out. Now I feel like reading it again. Incredible amount of details and pictures.
If I knew where it was, I would take you there.

For some reason I just didn't bother getting this when it came out. Surprising when I was so excited to go see the film in the cinema. On the hunt for it now.
Still on my bookshelf after I finished it years ago. 2 moves later and it remains squarely on display next to my Sandman Omnibus collection.
Ha, mine is also sitting next the Sandman Omnibuses! I keep them on the bottom to prevent my cheap bookshelf from collapsing. Perhaps in 7 years they will cobble together an updated 20th anniversary PJ20 book. It is an amazing read and everyone involved in the development of the book did a real bang up job.
Love this book and read it cover to cover! It sits next to my other PJ and Drive By Truckers books (and under an inordinate amount of X-Men, Avengers, Watchmen, V for Vendetta hardcovers and more). I should totally have some Sandman in there. Have to rectify that.

Says 'paperback' but it's a soft cover. $21 isn't bad.
