In some cases there are very major differences. Dragon Book v2 has entire new chapters on topics that weren't being widely applied when v1 was written. v18-v19 probably isn't a big jump, but that doesn't make all version changes worthless.

The dragon book was updated once, 13 years ago, 20 years after its original publication date. It seems strange to use it as an example within the context of textbooks being updated at a regular cadence.
