Please note there is no such thing as an Anniversary version of Pitman's, this was merely the name given to one particular publication of the New Era instruction book. (There is, however, an Anniversary version of Gregg shorthand.)
I have seen the big dictionary available online for sale "New" but I noticed in one excerpt that it said "Centenary", so this seems to be the same as the free Internet Archive download above, the "new" description probably referring to the paper "print on demand" copy that is being offered. I suspect also that sometimes "publishing date" may refer to the date of production of the newly-printed hard copy, rather than the original date of the work. Caution and close inspection of the details would be prudent on all of these, whether dictionaries or other shorthand books, and if in doubt you can always search for it first on Internet Archive to check up on the exact details.

It is convenient to have the definition alongside the word, but not essential. Having the maximum number of shorthand outlines available is absolutely essential. Making do with guessed-at outlines through lack of a dictionary will produce a less efficient and less reliable version of shorthand. It is always possible to make up an outline from theory, but you may find it ends up having awkward joins, is just too long and straggling or, worst of all, clashes with another when the vowels are left out, a situation no shorthand writer wants to find out "the hard way". Pitman's many revisers and have worked on all this out over the years and this is why some outlines depart from basic theory is in order to produce compact outlines, and you will sometimes see instances in instruction books where certain outlines are justified purely on the basis of convenience/speed in writing, which is the main purpose of shorthand.
If you are not learning, but have an old unused shorthand dictionary/instruction book gathering dust, please consider making it available to today's upcoming writers, either through Ebay or your local charity shop, some of which have branches that specialise in books (e.g. Oxfam), and this is a good place to ensure the copy is handled carefully and made available at a reasonable price, benefiting everyone involved. The committed student/writer will not mind the condition of the copy, the scribbles or the ink blots, they will see past that and really value the information that they gain. The marks in my books remind me of their history, the student toiling to master each page, and they give a sense of continuity of learning.
The fastest writer had to start somewhere. Did the person who wrote these laboured marks enjoy their lessons, or indeed did they have a choice? Did they relish speed victories, have an encouraging teacher, and finally achieve a usable speed? Did they actually use their shorthand in later life? Maybe it was a child drawing the marks, exactly what I would have done in very early years if I had had this book to play with.
Look for the textbooks in used bookstores, at yard sales and at auction sites on the Internet. The books have been out of print for more than 10 years. Download the free PDF version of all the necessary books to get started learning how to read the symbols. The actual textbooks, however, are invaluable for teaching the correct size and placement and being able to trace the symbols while learning.
Refer to the 5000 Most Useful Shorthand Forms book when you have difficulty reading some of the shorthand symbols. This book is a shortened version of the Gregg Shorthand Dictionary. Both are excellent references that stenographers use throughout their careers.
