That appears to be the 2008 practice exam, based on the dual ISBN. The image is the 2008 image which was also the same for 2001 (see here for another for sale listing of 2008 exams: https://www.abebooks.com/9781932613131/Sample-Questions-Solutions-Mechanical-Engineering-1932613137/plp). Note that in 2001 and 2008 the practice exam booklet included MDM sections and HVAC sections so it wasn't a "Mechanical Thermal Fluids NCEES Practice Exam" in both of those years.

This old ebay listing was a bit instructive for info regarding ISBN as you do your searching for one.

Happy studying.
Do you know the difference between these two books?

They both appear to be from 2008 with 160 questions, but two different ISBNs and different covers. Based on your response above, the second one is the correct book since it has the same cover as 2001. So I'm trying to figure out what the first book is for.

 
Wow, Thanks Audi Driver, this really clears things up!

In case this link ever goes away, I am summarizing the Ebay link below:

Principles and Practice of Engineering Mechanical Engineering Sample Questions (NCEES, 2001)
ISBN:1-932613-13-7
 
NCEES PE Mechanical Engineering Thermal and Fluids Practice Exam (NCEES, 2011)
ISBN: 978-1-932613-61-2
 
NCEES PE Mechanical Engineering Thermal and Fluids Practice Exam (NCEES, 2016
ISBN:978-1-932613-78-0


See my summary above.  The first link you posted is the 2008.  The 2008 and 2011 are the same but the 2008 contains all disciplines.  The second link you posted is the 2001.

The second link is for a 2008 book. They both are 2008 practice test books, the first is just a hard cover version (one that I did not know existed prior).

Yeah that was the only difference I could find. Seems odd that they would make the same book with different covers. Thanks to you and cvan for the clarification.
