Was also able to pick this book up for a very reasonable cost. The condition is a little rough, but that is to be expected for a book that is as old as I am.

That’s awesome! Would you be able to tell me the dimensions of that book in terms of height and width? I have a similar copy but I feel it’s a different size

My copy is 6 inches by approximately 8.5 inches.

Weird, mine is 5.7 by 8.3. I wonder if there are varying dimensions of that book.

So I made a new acquisition today that I am extremely pleased with. Although not featured on screen, it is mentioned which makes it a valid addition to the collection. The author did an incredible job and also mentions the inspiration for the writing the book was in fact Ghostbusters II. A beautiful addition to my collection.

Here is a nice shot of all the prominent Ghostbusters II books together

Here is a fun find I recently picked up. I was watching Frozen Empire and was able to catch sight of “The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy” in the scene where the possessed trash bag runs up the stairs in the library.

This particular edition is from 1954 so it would stand to reason it would have been present in the library in 1984. It i

I have that Top of the City book, it’s a genuinely good read!

My holy grail, although I really don’t know why, is the A Year on Ice book from GB2’s “she cleaned!” scene. Something about it always caught my eye and imagination, even though I know less than nothing about ice hockey!

Meanwhile, for the true completist, Trout Tactics from the same scene is currently on Amazon UK for under £40!

Amazon.co.uk

Lol, I was just going through this very scene myself to see what else I could spot:

1. A Year On Ice - Gerald Eskenazi

2. Joe Humphreys’s Trout Tactics

3. Voyager Tarot Cards - James Wanless PH.D.

4. Dynasty - Peter Golenbock

5. Damn Yankee - Maury Allen

Behind Dana is also “The Bronx Zoo - Sparky Lyle & Peter Golenbock”:

Also in Peter’s apartment is “Handbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena - William R. Corliss”:

And just for fun, in Ray’s Occult is “Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs”:

Received a nice package today. Not exactly seen on screen, but Gil was posting pictures during the FE production, so I’d consider it off screen canon:

Whoa, did you score a deal on ebay? If yes, how did I miss it?!

I wish! Had it on my watch list, but nothing ever popped up in my price range. Managed to find a great deal on Abebooks from a seller in Germany, and they arrived in just over a week to Australia.

Look what I picked up for $23! Ever since you pointed it out I have been on the hunt, finally scored it!

Here is another find! I found it on eBay for under $20. “Ghosts and Hauntings” by Dennis Bardens can be spotted behind Peter at the bookstore in 1989.

This is absolutely my favourite thread on this forum. Such a good resource.

Another find from the same scene, I wasn’t able to identify any others… yet. “Super Senses” by Charles Panati can be made out behind Egon. This book is also reasonably available and priced to sell. Another fun addition to the Ray’s Occult display!
