Default Service manual question?

What is the difference between the regular red colored service manuals and the preliminary service manuals with the black covers?

These manuals are dark gray and white also, but they say preliminary on the binders. I am confused as to what the difference could be.

Specifically, w/gtzy

Generally, perhaps knowing the definition of the word preliminary would help you understand why its being used.
