What is the difference between these 2 passporters?

Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line and Its Caribbean Ports of Call: The Take-Along Travel Guide and Planner (Passporter Travel Guides) -- Jennifer Watson, et al; Paperback





Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line and Its Caribbean Ports of Call Deluxe Edition: The Take-Along Travel Guide and Planner (Passporter Travel Guides) -- Jennifer Watson, et al; Ring-bound


Both are listed as 206 pages, but the deluxe edition is 39.95 and the other is 16.95? Other than the price is there a difference?

One is ring bound with a fancy cover and extra pockets for stubs and such (39$) the other paperback bound.
I have the delux WDW passporters 2002,2003 and the paperback cruise one fits into either of those.
The info is great! I read them over and over!!!

We bought the the glue bound paperback Passport for $11.87 (www.amazon.com) and the Deluxe is $27.97. Both contain the same info, but I would recommend the Deluxe Passport. The basic Passport will not stand up to a heavy use as the ring bound Deluxe Passport will. I can say that all the books I read still look as new as when bought but the size of the basic book is on the small side which will add to the spreading of the inside of the pages and shorten the life of the book considerably if thumbed through frequently. So, if you won't grab for it every other hour - get the basic. If you gonna relish all the info you can get till the cruise and during and after, shoot for the extra $$ and enjoy the leather fancy cover and easy to flip pages!

Figured this and the linked post could help each out for information.
