Is there any point in buying anything other than the Dover edition of George Bickham’s Universal Penman? Are there better or worse years for the Dover edition?

I have a 1941. I love it, its hardcover.

Was that published by “Peter Smith Pub Inc”?

I have the 1968 hardcover Dover edition, originally published by Dover in 1954 and based on Struck’s 1941 edition. It is very good, and all the plates are printed at their original size.
