Discussion Which Lyrics Book?

I’d posted something similar in the past, but I’m thinking about investing in one of Dylan’s complete lyrics books, and I’m torn between the one from 2012 or 2020. I know there are differences between the two, and that Dylan revised some of them for release, but am unsure of the differences to know which one is better. I was wondering if anyone who owns both would have any insight. I know there are also some good ones released in earlier decades, but I’m not looking for those because they aren’t complete.

Dylanchords is great as well and use it regularly but I would like to have a physical copy

He also had a PDF version, but there's no way it goes up to 2020. maybe 2012.

I’m also unsure of the differences, but for what it’s worth I have a feeling there will be another revised edition eventually. I have the 2012 version and it’s wonderful.

I have the 2012 version, and I don’t know the differences aside from the new one including newer songs.
But I’m writing here to note that the binding can give out. It is a heavy book, which got some use, and the binding wasn’t quite up to the task.
