An aside about Cadillacs & Dinosaurs for people that don't have it: it's not a fun game. There's just far too little lore to really bite into and with only a single book for the whole game the GM has a lot of work to do in order to run a campaign. It definitely reads like GDW had an option for a license that was expiring and had to publish something. I don't know if that's what happened but that's how the book reads. I think the setting needs "pulpier" mechanics than what v2.2 has to offer.
That being said it does have some useful stuff for T2K/M2K games. Besides the dinosaur stats there's sort of Twilight: 1955 equipment and weapons and non-military PC careers and stuff. It's worth picking up if you find it cheap but not critical to own. I've owned a copy for decades and have never once run a game in the C&D setting, let alone a C&D game using the book.
Aside over, sorry if this was a massive derailment. For an M2K game the C&D book is marginally useful but a letdown otherwise.
