Psych's Guide to Crime Fighting for the Totally Unqualified Paperback – Illustrated, May 7, 2013

Looks like a silly book but I think I'll like it. The TV show was silly and I just finished re-watching it. I enjoyed it very much so I hope I enjoy the book as well.

"Psych's Guide to Crime Fighting for the Totally Unqualified" is a must read for any "Psych" fan. Some if the highlights are Shawn's take on tax deductions, Woody's tips on performing an autopsy, and advice from Gus on what foods are appropriate to eat at a crime scene. There are also references to past characters on "Psych" scattered throughout the book. Shawn's chastising of most of the men Juliet has ever been involved with is particularly entertaining. The footnotes are equally comical, and mostly consist of bickering between Shawn/Gus or Shawn/Juliet. There are several contributions in the book from Juliet and Gus. Lassiter, McNab, and Shawn's father also give their inputs. Lastly, it would not be a true "Psych" book if there were not 80s references, pop culture, and nicknames on almost every single page. And of course, an intro from Curt Smith. Ultimately, it's very entertaining. I will read it again and share it with my family of Psych-Os.

This is pretty much what I expected. It's just a fun thing to have, and my wife and I pretty much the biggest Psych fans there are. The book pulls from actual episodes and is just kind of a interesting thing to keep around...especially for Psych fans.

First off, I can't believe this book is so cheap. This is a big book. Yes, the type is big but it's heftier than some textbooks.Second, this is pretty quality writing. I know there are Psych novels out there that are underwhelming, but whoever wrote this must be involved with the show or is intimately familiar with it. I love that the book never 'breaks character'. The whole time you are made to assume that it is written by Shawn and Gus. Even the copyright says Shawn Spencer.I've only made it through a few chapters, but this is some light reading. I'm sure you could barrel your way through if you insisted, but I like going through the chapters at my own leisure. This isn't prose fiction, so it's not exactly a page-turner.Overall, you're going to have to be a fan of the show to read this. Having the characters' voices in your head as you read is essential. Even better, though, is that it's actual quite metafictional. It's a book that knows it's a book.What a wonderful experiment by whoever was behind this and I hope we get more.

This was shipped in a plastic bag and then put it to a box from Amazon. My husband loved it as he is a true Psych fan.He didn't expect it, but mentioned that they made a real book when we where watching it for the hundredth time and I went hunting. I couldn't find it on the stores, and Barnes and Noble would order it but it was a bit more expensive there, so I ordered it off here.Amazing quality, no bent pages, and clear pictures and lettering. If you know a fan then you should purchase this!

Arrived in mint condition

Just got it out of the package and it’s damaged. The corner is all bent and there are random ink marks on it. I payed to buy new but it looks used. I typically don’t write reviews but it’s a graduation gift for my cousin bc it’s his favorite show and so I’m pretty frustrated about it. The book itself though is hilarious.

Awesome book. Makes me laugh out loud.
