I’d bought the Haynes Great War Workshop manual on the Mark IV tank a while back and saw that they also have a title Great War Workshop manual ‘all types 1915-1945’. Not sure why the second title goes beyond 1918. I’d order the ‘all types’ book and today I received the Mark IV book. I checked the ISBN number and the book covering ‘all types’ is the same number as the Mark IV book.
The ‘all types’ has a Mark V as the cover illustration and the Mark IV book So one would expect has a Mark IV.
Are there two books - the common ISBN is confusing.
Maybe running until '45, to cover the two wrecks in the Tiergarten?
Lustgarten.

After buying two books with the Mark V on the cover (and returning both) I’m convinced that Haynes only printed the Mark IV version but released two images for the cover.
I guess I’m not surprised that cover designers can’t tell a Mark IV from a Mark V. It’s just misleading to the ‘serious’ WWI armor enthusiast thinking the volume covered later tanks. Which still leaves room for a detailed volume in the Mark I thru Mark V*.
