I plan to purchase the Night Sky Observer's Guide Vols 1 & 2 and I've seen reference to an oversize edition. I can't seem to find any details about this edition and Willman Bell doesn't list it on their web site. I would appreciate it if anyone can provide details and let me know if this edition worth the added expense.

Thanks for your input.
My reason for asking about the oversize edition is that I looked on Amazon and saw that these books were also available from used book dealers. I checked out a couple of the dealers and they were asking about $70 per book (about
twice the price of a new volume). I saw the word
'oversized' in the their description and thought that this was the reason the books were so overpriced.
I called Willman Bell to inquire about the 'oversize' edition and was told it doesn't exist. I went ahead and put in my order with Willman Bell.
I haven't followed up with any of the used book dealers to find out why they were asking so much money. Maybe they were selling first editions.
