Not much I can assure you. \u00a0That said, recently we were performing\u00a0a large scale book move to make room for newly cataloged monographs when I stumbled upon the book in the image below.<\/p>\n

\"What

Vitalogy by E. H. Ruddock, M. D.<\/p><\/div>\n

It was the cover that caught my eye because it seemed immediately familiar. Within a split second I realized that the cover of the book in question looked exactly like the cover of my favorite album by the band Pearl Jam.<\/p>\n

Wait a second? \u00a0“Who’s Pearl Jam” you may be asking yourself. That’s OK. They are a rock and roll band from Seattle that broke around 1992. Released on Epic Records in the fall of 1994,Vitalogy <\/em>was the band’s third album. \u00a0And as I’ve just found out, the title of a book.<\/p>\n

\"What

Vitalogy Cover<\/p><\/div>\n

I didn’t know it when the record was released, but the band chose the title because the lead singer\/songwriter of the group, Eddie Vedder, saw the volume at a garage sale, liked it’s title, design, font, etc., and purchased it. He later showed it to the rest of the band and it soon became the title of the new album. The Vitalogy<\/em> album\/CD cover mimicked the cover of the book and original text from the book was\u00a0used to populate the album’s liner notes.<\/p>\n

So what about the book? \u00a0Vitalogy, An Encyclopedia of Health and \"WhatHome\u00a0<\/em>Adapted for the Home, the Layman, and the Famil<\/em>y by E. H. Ruddock, M.D. was first published in 1899; the edition we have is from 1926. Biblical in proportion it contains 1004 pages full of holistic cures, medical advice and proverbial wisdom. In addition, it is full of incredibly detailed and intricate color illustrations and fold outs.<\/p>\n

Glancing through its\u00a0pages, one can imagine Vitalogy<\/em> at home in any aisle of a Whole Foods or a Sprouts Market–the book that is, though I’m sure the album would do well\u00a0there too.<\/p>\n
