differences guide


Explanation:

I have seen "differences guide" or difference guide" so many times but haven't run into "difference manual" yet.

Probably, it may be because such books are for reference/information purposes only, and therefore not construed as a "manual", which typically gives instructions. This type of information often appears as part of appendix or application/release notes.
