I'm getting the hardcover and I am soooo glad it doesn't say written by Egon and Ray. in the original Ghostbusters movie they didn't write the Tobin Spirit Guide. This was a book they were using as a reference. I can't wait to read mine.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Agree, enjoy yours the book it a lot of fun for fans of Ghostbusters.

[@adriancarara2309]

I love Ghostbusters@@MakeItorBreakItNow

[@richpunk77]

Thanks for offering clarity regarding the differences between each edition. Was always rather confused at that.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Rich, you're welcome. Not sure why they make it so confusing...

[@DivineKnight_115]

Hardbacks just look better most of the time and are a hell more durable along with leather bound books. Pretty much every paperback book I read falls apart at the spine due to the paper staying bent.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

BMT115, excellent point, I prefer hardback too.

[@baligon]

the prices are reversed if you're in europe: 35€+ for the green softcover or 16€ for the red hardcover, if you can find the softcover version at all

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

M Hotzl, interesting... I would have never guessed that would be the case. Thanks for sharing.

[@packlesswolf1]

Gotta go for the " Hardback" it's so nice.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

agree, but at almost 3 times the price?

[@stormdahusky]

@@MakeItorBreakItNow yes

[@raymondwright5996]

I like the hardcover as always, but like the green of the softcover.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

the hardcover is our favorite too.

[@MuslimTemplar]

There is also a blue/grey paperback one and it’s the same as the green one except that it was from Loot Crate. Though if you’re a fan of the movies, cartoon and video games just stick with the hardcover one.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about the blue/gray paperback...

[@kristinaF54]

Have the hardback version with obi and I've pre-ordered the leather Tobin's Spirit Guide from Magnoli Props.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Wow, didn't know there was a leather version, thanks for sharing.

[@nylesath]

I got both. One for my bookshelf and the soft cover because I have curious kids who like Ghostbusters. I let my son take it for show and tell and even at 6, he was very careful with it.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You've got great kids, nice they're already into Ghostbusters...

[@MonsterGrove]

Depending on budget both books seem ok for price

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

They are identical, so I guess it does come down to how much you want to spend...

[@gregfalco4528]

Meh. It doesn't adhere to canon. Why would Stay Puft be in there if the book was written 50 years before Gozer appeared in New York? And also....it was written by Tobin, not Egon and Ray...obviously.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Greg, good point, although Stay Puft could have appeared before... Egon and Ray refer to Tobin so it shouldn't have been written by them...

[@texta_text]

​@@MakeItorBreakItNowThe Destructor only took the form of Stay Puft because Ray goofed. Honestly I even have a problem with the cabbie being in there, cool as he was. Obviously I like my props as in-story as possible, so probably hardback for me.

[@100horreur4]

@@texta_text But this isn't the ACTUAL Tobin's Spirit Guide. This is the Ghostbusters Edition. It's as if Ray and Egon had written their own version of the guide based on their cases

[@MonsterGrove]

Ok guys as far as canon goes . Don’t panic ! It’s seems realistic and fits into the ghostbusters universe . In my opinion The reason its offered as a hardback or soft cover but doesnt look like a ancient book is This version of the Tobin spirit guide has new additional entries by the ghostbusters as a updated release so the normal public can now purchase it and eduucate themselves . It has the explanation on the back cover. Thats why it has illustrations in this version. The ghosts encountersd by the ghostbusters are also added to the book. As it explains to try to present the most informative book regaurding the supernatural. Which seems to fit and explains the new style cover . So this is not THE one and only Tobins Spirit Guide its a copy of the book anyone can add to there book shelf. The book is also very affordable so anyone can add it to there collection

[@henkman00]

The blue one…

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

That's good one...

[@airic21]

Hardback

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

airic21, thansk for your vote.

[@IcelandDan]

I like the look of the hardcover more

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Iceland Dan, all my family agrees with you...

[@adriancarara2309]

I found the real Tobin's Spirit Guide made by J.H Tobin

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Cool, how do you like it?

[@yourrandomyoutuber2211]

@@MakeItorBreakItNowyes there is one and it has good reviews but it has more pages than the Bible I think

[@SamuelHasTakenTheLifeOfAMan]

hardback

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Enigma, agreed. Just way more expensive for an identical book minus the cover difference.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

@k thank you so much.

[@stormdahusky]

Hardback

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Powersphere, agree, I think the extra money is worth it.

[@stormdahusky]

@@MakeItorBreakItNow yah I actually got the hardback a while back and I think its just alot better

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

@@stormdahusky yup. Both are still a lot of fun though. Better than not having one.
