Used Book in Good Condition
I'm sure this has come up before, but I'm curious about coaster media that got you into the hobby like books, video games, movies, and tv specials. I know I and a few others were drawn in via Roller Coaster Tycoon (and this book too, in my case), but I'd like to know what other media's been particularly influential. I imagine RCT as being a huge breakthrough to the masses, but I have no idea if that's my nostalgia speaking or a statistically significant difference between the impact of that game and something like Planet Coaster.
It's pretty dated, but this book is great - https://www.amazon.com/Roller-Coasters-Seekers-Ultimate-Machines/dp/1402713339/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Roller+Coasters%3A+A+Thrill+Seeker%27s+Guide+to+the+Ultimate+Scream+Machines&qid=1569174159&s=gateway&sr=8-2
I've had this book by Robert Coker for ages. I like it - it's pretty big with some nice pictures, and goes through the evolution of coasters from Russian Ice Slides to classic woodies to gigacoasters.

this one has pretty much every roller coaster thats popular back in 2006. the photos are amazingly good and the quality of writing is top notch.
good luck finding a copy though.
