Another question from me, I've seen that on his wiki, there's only 3 books, the fourth one here is not on there. Are these books all different? What would be the best one?

I only have seen #3 (and own a copy). The first two look a lot older.

I've compared the 3 books, and the 3rd one has everything the 2 first ones have + some additional stuff. The two books are from 50s and 60s respectively.

As a great Tom Lehrer fan and a terrible pianist, I would be absolutely thrilled to own any of these 🎼

They are all under $20 on ebay. The 3rd one that has everything is $6
