Suehiro Maruo Maruograph Differences

First released in 1996, Suehiro Maruo's two volume collection of artworks "MARUOGRAPH" is very popular and has been reprinted several times with various expansions and special features. A brand new third volume was created in 2018. Starting with the first/oldest edition, I will outline the differences below.
