I don't own the 2 vol set, so can't compare directly, but there are 220 charts pole to pole (plus 26 at a larger scale of selected regions). Most of the 220 are as you say 12 deg in Dec, with a 1 deg overlap, but two "strips" between 30 and 17 deg, and 18 and 05 deg (both N and S) are 13 deg in Dec (I think because there is less curvature, so more fits on one page, overall scale appears to be the same). Page size is 305 by 220 mm. There's a copyright notice printed on all pages, 1997-2001, so I assume they're all just reprints of the original work.
