Anything you can tell me about this?
I've heard that it is designed to fill in the gaps in the 4E PHB. The races and classes are some that were left out in the transition from 3.5, although with different names to avoid GSL conflicts. I'd assume that the feats, rituals, etc. are mainly for support of the new races and classes... things like multiclass and racial feats, for example.

Hi there,
I can only refer to what I read about the book, but some of it is directly from the authour of the book.
So here are the facts: As mentioned before this book is supposed to fill the gaps left by the 4e core books (in comparision to their 3e/ 3.5 analogues). So you'll find the gnome, half orc, and halfling class, and the monk, barbarian, druid, a warlock like and bard class inside plus various paragon paths emulating some old edition classes like cavalier, specialist wizards, and thief acrobat (for copy right reasons these classes bear somewhat different names, but it is quite easy to identify a troubadour as a bard... ;-)).
Unfortunately a lot of errors seem to have crept into the book: The authour gives feed back here and an errata/ web enhancement is supposed to be published.
Nevertheless most people seem to agree that the book is worth its purchase if you like to have all 3e classes around in your 4e game.
Cheers,
Günther
P.S.
Originally the book was supposed to be published by Necromancer Games, Paizo's partner company. Too bad that the GSL confusion led to the decision to pass this book on to a different company: The book represents Necromancer Games' motto really well: new edition rules, first edition feel. :(
