*edit: yes, the watercolor illustrations showing up in the amazon reviews section are from the 2013 or earlier version, and are by Alan Lee, not Tolkien.**

I think there is another version coming out next year. It's also an illustrated version but this time, it's an illustration of Tolkien doing the illustrations for this book.

It comes in a slipcase and contains the Tolkien illustrations found in the regular Illustrated Edition, as well as "two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Middle-earth."
You're in the minority, they're excellent imo, especially love the maps.
