Pearl Jam Twenty Paperback - 2013

In 1991, Pearl JamâÈçs debut album, Ten, catapulted the little-known Seattle-based band into superstardom. Then, at the height of their popularity, the band shunned the spotlight, refusing to shoot videos or do interviews. Even as Pearl JamâÈçs studio albums continued to receive critical acclaim and success, selling more than 60 million albums worldwide, the inner workings of the bandâÈ'their day-to-day routines, motivations, and aspirationsâÈ'remained unknown even to their diehard fans.

Told with wit, passion, and remarkable candor, Pearl Jam chronicles their two-decade journey, from the years leading up to the groupâÈçs formation to their latest self-released chart-topper Backspacer. The result is an unprecedented self-portrait filled with little known stories and anecdotes; personal memorabilia, tour notes, and set lists; and never-before-seen Polaroids, drawings, and letters. The group also takes you inside the studio with chapters chronicling the making of each record and original interviews by contemporaries and legends like Chris Cornell, Dave Grohl, Ben Harper, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, and Neil Young.

Imbued with Pearl JamâÈçs artistic energy and do-it-yourself spirit, Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive story of an unconventional band that established itself as âÈêthe greatest American rock band everâÈë (USA TODAY ReadersâÈç Poll 2005).
