Yep. Ken Updike put out a book , "International Harvester Tractors, 1955-1985," that's the same size and published by the same folks (MBI) as Guy Fay's "Originality Guide, Farmall Letter Series Tractors."
Ken's book had a different focus and purpose than Guy's. If you think aout it, Guy's book is a real gem and the result of a lot of dedication, time, and exhaustive research. And that was for a line of tractor that lasted about fifteen years, consisiting of a basic design scaled up and down to the size of the machine. Even at that. there were lots of small changes. There were so many more models in the thirty year span of the Updike book, that the same level of detail would have taken years longer to achieve (it might still be in the works, if it had) and would probably weigh fifteen pounds.
There are plenty of similar details to be found in Ken's book, but anyone looking for it to be the same thing as the ORginality Guide will be disappointed. If the same folks were looking for a good book on the tractors of that era, though, it makes a nice companion to Guys' book, and they fit very nicely next to each other on my shelf.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
