GREAT COASTERS DETAILS,POOR COASTERS PICTURES !

The book is a must for any coaster fans like me,still it`s a desapointement for the B & W pictures,I would have prefer a book with full color pics,even if it ment paying an higher price. Since those thrill rides are always painted with great colors.The details about each coasters though...is worth the buy !!

If you like coasters....Throgmorton is a friend indeed!

This is an excellent photo/fact-book for anyone looking to find that dream "thrill excursion". Any time roller coasters sneek into my day dreams I find myself, all too soon, browsing through these pages. Throgmorton is obviously a long time enthusiast, but doesn't go into the long (and boring) personal views of our "addiction". Also; a terrific collection of photos, even in black and white. I payed twenty for it at Tower Books, so this is a good deal! Bravo! Greg Shields
