What's the difference between this and the other illustrated hardback edition? Looks like just some maps for an extra $60?

Yeah this seems really expensive but the other edition doesn't come with a cover sleeve like this. I have the other edition, I am sticking with that for now, since it goes well with the other 2 books.
