Em setembro de 1957, os Monotones gravaram “The Book of Love” em estúdio, e a gravação ficou disponível no disco Mascot em dezembro do mesmo ano.
A faixa alcançou o número cinco na parada pop da Billboard e o número três na lista de rhythm and blues, demonstrando seu sucesso em ambos os gêneros.
Quando a gravadora Mascot não conseguiu lidar com a demanda, o single foi reeditado em fevereiro de 1958 pelo selo Argo, subsidiária da Chess Records, ampliando sua circulação.
A inspiração para a letra veio de um comercial de creme dental Pepsodent, onde a frase “you’ll wonder where the yellow went” motivou Charles Patrick a criar a linha “I wonder, wonder, wonder who, who wrote the book of love”.
A icônica parte “boom” da música nasceu de um menino chutando uma bola contra a garagem enquanto os integrantes ensaiavam, e o som foi incorporado ao arranjo depois que os Monotones perceberam seu efeito.
Fora dos Estados Unidos, a música também atingiu a posição cinco nas paradas australianas, provando seu apelo internacional.
