"Whilst the first volume was intended as an introduction to the whole subject of Stirling Cycle engine and models, the aim of this new volume is to take the model engineer to a point where he can build engines with real power potential. 'Fun' engines are not ignored, but the intention is to introduce the model maker to more advanced engines, which are described in detail, and also give a solid basis for further experimentation."

This is a large A4 size hardcover, with a section of colour photos.
