Well "From The Two Rivers" is half of the Young Adult version of "the Eye of the World" that included "Ravens," a short Egwene story. Most printings of this book do not include the original tEotW prologue at all, but instead start with "Ravens" as the only prologue. It also had the font size increased and was split into two volumes.
I'm not certain, but the second half should have similar artwork. Just be aware that those releases were geared at the YA audience. Pretty sure this version came out recently, so it may be that they don't have many of the others yet printed. Although, I really can't see anyone trying to pass off Dumai's Wells as suited for a YA reader, so who knows how far past book three they will even go.
That artwork was also featured on the original release of the Companion.
There is an updated companion book coming this year. Personally, I think you should definitely wait until after you read Path of Daggers (for all the reasons given by others in this thread) but also consider waiting until after the new companion book is out. It could contain a lot of the same information, and maybe ^^(gasp) better art!
Oh, while I'm thinking of it: That link is to the Amazon Smile page for The Wheel of Time Companion, and it is currently spoiler-free. That could change at any time, so buyer beware.
My suggestion for WoT gifts is to either hand create something, go to Etsy, or go to Ta'veren Tees. http://www.taverentees.com/
I've read the whole series and thoroughly enjoy seeing the merch up on Ta'veren Tees. But if you really wanted to get him something, you could always either get him the book he's on (if he hasn't finished) or possibly the Wheel of Time Companion. https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Time-Companion-History-Bestselling/dp/0765314614
We world-building fans are hoping for another one at the end of the second series.
Thought of some other things you might enjoy. Not strictly appendices, but they are world-building addenda I think.
Wheel of Time Companion.

I did it by reading slowly and multiple times. Nowadays people can cheat.
