As far as a physical product goes, $50-$100+ doesn't sound unreasonable for a mass produced quality item. Even $500 wouldn't be out of the question if the print run was small enough.I have no idea how much it costs to produce a large full color map, but the book itself should be comparatively cheap if the glossy pages and full color interior art are left out (as they should be).
