Since I do not visualize so much a book does not enhance my visualization skills.
I would say that watching a TV series like The Wire give much more than most books. The opinion that just because it is TV it is bad or worthless is currently an incorrect opinion. The quality of the best TV shows have increased a lot in recent years.
