I doubt that there's much of a difference (apart from one being hardcover and the others paperback). Without going over all three editions page-by-page, it's hard to say. The "Corr." indicates that the 1958 edition had some corrections, presumably of errors in the 1942 edition, but I would guess these are minor typos.
