I've hit the button on Amazon to request the publisher to make this available on Kindle as I refuse to buy paper books when I can read them on my tablet and they don't take up any space in the house!

I found this on Amazon too, and it looked like a amazing book to read; I read a sample of the storyline of how the RMT and HH came together. I can't find any searches on my iBooks app.

It does sound like a very worthwhile investment but a shame about the towers not letting him use archive materials - I hope they use them otherwise it will just be wasted. I see in the preview he has some plans and illustrations so that is cool.

I actually provided him with quite a few pictures (I took when I was 14 haha) for his site so its cool to see he's gone this far with things. I would agree with John that he's the man who knows the HH best.

They could sell it in the Duel shop - maybe

It is a very good book, and I would highly recommend it to any lovers of all the technical and other aspects of dark rides!
