Nothing more than a reprint
This book is nothing more than a reprint of the "Second Diesel Spotters Guide' by Pinkepank... Same format, same text, same photographs. Nothing changed but the cover and the text font.

This review is from: Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years: A Guide to Diesels Built Before 1972 (Railroad Reference Series) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for someone just starting (or restarting) into the world of railroads (like myself). It provides not only information about diesel locomotives built before 1972, but background about each manufacturer, details of special modifications, locomotive repowerings, and even detail photos of common truck assemblies. Subjects are organized first by manufacturer, then in basic chronological order by specification (normally-aspirated, turbocharged, gas-turbine, etc). It's a fine overview of the first days of diesel.
