I have the first edition WU, use it on the regs, love it. I handled the second edition before and had it for about a week before I gave it as a gift, and I would definitely say that the Animal Spirit cards are more like the second edition Wild Unknown.
Which, honestly, a lot of people prefer! I personally love the extra sturdy first edition stock, but even as a riffle-bridge shuffler, it took a while to break in. And the second edition stock is still fabulous.
I never bought the guidebook for TWU--I felt no need--but I did get the book for the Animal Spirit and I found that I appreciated knowing that the artist really thought about the biology. The page on apex predators is my favorite.
