4.0 out of 5 starsI want to give it a perfect rating but I can't
By Suspekt on October 13, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Make no mistake, this book is an excellent compendium to the Ghostbusters universe. It is a treasure trove of information. Initially, when I pre-ordered, I was under the assumption it would cover primarily the first movie. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have yet to sit down and read it (it's over 200 pages and hard bound) but here is what you can expect

1. Foreward by Dan Akroyd/Introduction by Ivan Reitman.
2. Complete overview of the original (original sketches/concept art of the baddies, storyboards, film shots you've never seen before, matte paintings, Ecto 1 illustrations., creature costumes and makeup, movie posters
3. Complete overview of the sequel (more of what you would expect in part except a lot more story book art and schematics).
3. Overview of the Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, Ghostbuster Video Games, Ghostbuster Comics, Ghostbuster Merchandise

This is enough to make any hard core fan happy.

So what ruined this from being a 5 star rating from me: The extras.

Scattered throughout the book are film cells, business cards, sketches and artwork, storyboards, etc..

They are a welcome addition, but instead of including it in its own separate section, they are glued to the pages. The glue mostly comes off but it leaves an oily residue on the pages where it originally resided. I guess as a trade off you could not remove it, but then it's obstructing you from reading what's underneath it. I hope if they ever come out with a second printing they address is small nuisance to an otherwise perfect tabletop piece.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt has a wealth of content for fans
By Parka TOP 50 REVIEWER on October 29, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Length: 2:59 Mins
Although I can't remember when was the first time I watched Ghostbusters as I was only three when the film came out. I must have caught one of those reruns. But I still remember that I was so fascinated by the film, the visuals and concept. I was also hooked on playing the Ghostbusters games when it came out on the SEGA system. The idea of ghosts running around and there are actually people who would go around catching these ghosts just seems wildly imaginative for me.

Going through this book brings back the sense of wonder and good memories of the first time I watched the films.

This 224-page hardcover is published by Insight Editions. The publisher has designed the book like a scrapbook with several removable items, such as the Ghostbuster name card, a questionnaire for those who watch the preview, booklet of storyboards, schematics of props, a transparent sheet with labels overlayed onto the slime blower tank prop, and other notes.

The removable items are a nice touch but they could have just been printed on the actual pages. They are sticked onto the pages and to read the content beneath you have to remove or push them away. Nice but not really necessary.

The book's divided into three parts, the first two parts cover the two films and the last part looks at the expanded universe.

There's a wealth of content in the form of lots of wonderful set photography, artworks and a detailed writeup into the making of the two films. It's a very satisfying read, especially when it comes to understanding how they actually create the ghosts, props and visual effects to make everything look believable. My favourite bits are for Slimer and Stay Puff marshmallow man who are my favourite characters. LOL.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars"Grab her Ray!", or rather get it!
By Michael Kyzer on October 16, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I found this on my porch yester day and after skimming throught the entire book and reading a few passages I have to say it exceeded my expectations. While most information is easily fouind online, it's nice to have it in opne place presented so well. I was expecting something more along the lines of the "Visual Guide" series of books that is more pics and less substance, but this nails what a "fanboy" book should be on the head. More collectable than coffee and includes "noter" and other meta scraps throughout. I'd give it 6 stars but amazon won't let me!

By WolfCreature13 on October 15, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
An amazing book. The only thing missing seems to be a chapter on the Live Stage Show and Theme Park Presence from Universal Studios Florida. Otherwise, this book is a MUST HAVE for any Ghostbuster fan! I'll be ordered a second to leave in the shrink wrap, because I promise you I will wear the first copy out from pouring over it!

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect Companion to the "Ghostbusters" Franchise
By William T. Whitehead on October 14, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This truly is a great book for any fan of the "Ghostbusters" franchise. It covers both films, the props, the cartoons (RGB and EGB), the video games, the comic books, and the toys. Some of the material has been made available before, but is increasingly rare--additionally, there is material that is brand new to even the most dedicated fan.

While I agree that the "glued in" extras can become an issue if not handled with care, they are not enough for me to reduce the rating. Great care was taken in putting this book together and the effort has certainly paid off!

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust Have for Die-Hard Fans
By MCB on March 6, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is overstuffed with great behind the scenes photos, stories, and extras. It covers everything from the initial conception all the way to the latest comics and Lego toys. I'm very impressed with how much Ghostbuster information is included, much more than I had learned from spending time surfing the web over the years. If you're a huge fan of the franchise, this is a must-have.
