nice, but hopelessly disorganised

I'd *really* hoped that the book would not just gather then individual gazette volumes one after another, but would organize them into some useful form. It doesn't. Oh well. That makes it much harder to use as a reference volume alongside the 3 core books.
It doesn't read coherently from cover to cover, and finding content is only possible via the Contents pages back at the start.

Individual sections: full heritages like Constructed and classes like the Artificer, I would prefer to get in a core "Adventurer's Guide 2"...
Monsters were a bit uninspired - I prefer setting-related ones, not random entries like a multi-page Jabberwock that never would be used.

Archetypes essays were interesting - minor extensions to classes, with some thought behind them. Lone Ranger and Battlefield Horrors scale in nicely at the lower levels. Playing Against Type is another good essay.
But it still reads like what it is - a collection of magazines, not a book.
