I think the SUP24D book is superb and well worth the asking price, especially as it now features 8 colour photos. However, I might be biased! In terms of accuracy, the bulk of SUP24D was based on an official fleetlist kindly supplied by Tube Lines (covering LBSL, Metronet, TfL etc) dated to 30th March 2009. This was updated with observations to the end of May. The bus company fleets were 99 percent from observations. I did remove a lot of vehicles that had not been reported for some time, and a few that are operated anonymously (LOTS policy). The databases on this site will therefore show more 'current' vehicles than the book.
