    I'm not getting this book for two reasons. The first is that I've read books 1-41 (and I'll be getting book 42 as well) and I've seen all 15 series, 5 movies and the Jack and the Pack spin-off. So I should have some idea as to what the Sudrian engines are like and how the Sodor railway network is.

    The other reason is you're paying £9 (max) for a book that says it has every engine in it when it doesn't. Kids won't care as they most likely won't know who the omitted characters are. But for lifelong, die-hard fans, that's an insult.

    If someone could post a list of all the characters in that book that'd be great. I'm curious to see who else would or wouldn't be mentioned.

    I might buy it, but I am so sad BoCo isn't included. He has always been my favourite engine and it seems like he's trying to be shoved into oblivion. I'm at least glad he was included in the Thomas Library series.
