I have been thinking that the guys would have had other books on hand in addition to Tobin’s Spirit Guide and Spates Catalogue. Here are two books I have found so far that I think they would have had handy.



There are a few more books I have my eye on that I will be collecting over time. Does anyone have any suggested references?

I keep a book on cryptids in my gear

If you’re looking to expand your paranormal reference, here is a great book list:

I was able to get a vintage copy of this book for a very reasonable price, usually they are quite expensive. The mass paperback is readily available cheaply. Nonetheless a worthy reference.

These real life old books (1904 and 1875) were used to compile the screen used Tobin's Spirit guide:

"They had no fire and sent two messengers, Kuratje and Kanmari, towards the east"



"Prometheus (a son of the Titan Japetos), who had previously identified himself with

the cause of humanity in a dispute that arose at Mekone

(Sikyon) as to the rightful share of the gods in all sacrifices

offered to them."

"Manual of mythology : Greek and Roman, Norse, and old German, Hindoo and Egyptian mythology"

by Murray, A. S. (Alexander Stuart), 1841-1904"

"They were beautiful maidens . George of Trebizond , a Greek philosopher of the fifteenth century , saw one in the open sea"



"the ways of nature, and to wrench from her the scerets of her innermost"



"Encyclopedia of superstitions, folklore, and the occult sciences of the world"

-Cora Linn Daniels 1903"

The books are >100 years old so are public domain now. 1070 pages total. These are the books Ray Stantz would be reading 24/7 if he existed.

Well he does, Dan Aykroyd is basically Ray Stantz.

Got the first one!

Here is one more shot of the previous page that is legible.

Awesome!! Where on Earth did you find those 100 year old books?

I believe one of them is 3 volumes (the second one I linked and they used on screen), it's crazy. like 2100 pages on the occult.

WHats even weirder is that Dan Aykroys probably knows a good fraction of those by heart. The man IS Dr. Ray Stantz.

The “Manual of Mythology” is a reprint dated 1954.


I am still looking for a vintage version of the other book, although modern reprints are readily available.

I needed to keep my place in my various books so I made these super handy bookmarks.

[Murdock]

Oh I like that, don't suppose those are up for sale somewhere?

[edspengler]

I can put some up on Etsy, I need to figure out the best shipping packaging first though.

I have this bookmark and another as part of a set. I just listed it today on Etsy, I am Engine 23 Props.
