BOOKS

There are many books, magazines, and other printed publications in which The Real Ghostbusters has been featured. This page will contain many of the most significant examples. (Comic books are listed on the Comic Books page, scripts are listed on the Scripts page.) For a lot of these books, full digital copies are provided below (look for the "Full Book PDF" and "Full Article PDF" links). To view these PDF eBooks, you will need a PDF reader, such as the one I recommend on the Help page. Only materials that are out-of-print are provided in full. If something is still in print and available for sale, I should have a link for it on the Store page. Even some of the out-of-print materials (old books and magazine back issues) are available if you're willing to shell out big bucks for the few remaining copies that are still out there.

All materials come from my (Paul Rudoff) personal collection of Ghostbusters memorabilia, and were scanned in by me, unless otherwise noted. Some scans were cleaned-up by Matthew Jordan.

Disclaimer: No copyright infringement is intended with the content on this page. The presentation of full books and articles is done solely to digitally preserve materials that are no longer being published. Nobody should be forced to pay hundreds of dollars to second-hand stores, such as eBay and Amazon Marketplace, just to be able to read one of these books. A lot of these books have been out-of-print for 20+ years. The original copyright owners aren't making one cent in profit off of the copies being sold by sellers at the aforementioned places. Heck, a lot of the copyright owners have long gone out of business. These books will be lost and gone forever if the fans don't properly preserve them.

CEREAL:GEEK MAGAZINE

Cereal:Geek, stylized as cereal:geek, was a magazine published by James Eatock (as Busta Toons Productions) from 2007 to 2013 that focused on animation from the 1980s. Ghostbusters, be it the Columbia or Filmation teams, is featured in every issue except for #12. (Issue #12 is included below only for a Casey Kasem interview, as he was featured in the original Ghostbusters movie.) James has provided Spook Central with copies of all of the Ghostbusters content from every completed issue. You may be able to still purchase physical copies from the magazine's official website. James can be found on Youtube, in addition to his He-Man and She-ra Shop.
