The Guide to Darkmoon Vale is hands down my favorite PFRG product. It has proven useful in a variety of ways. I really like the Timeline in the front. I believe that the Gazeteer had a timeline as well.
I would very much like to see Timelines included in more Pathfinder products. I was recently reading through The Elves of Golarion. I like it, but the lack of a timeline is a glaring weakness for me. I haven't ordered The Dwarves of Golarion in part because I'm guessing it doesn't have a Timeline either, and that reduces it's functionality.
Overall, every PFRG product I've purchased so far has been very good and I wouldn't return any. But Timelines add a lot of background material for me as a GM and I hope that Paizo tailors their products to include more of them as applicable.

Many of the other books have timelines... eg the Guide to Korvosa, etc, the Guide to Elves was one of the first and so it wasnt as developed as later product :) You really dont have much to worry about.

Most of the books in our Campaign Setting line have timelines, with the exception of "Revisited" and "of Golarion" titles. Some of the Pathfinder Player's Companions have timelines, but not all. The race books, for example, don't because it's very hard to make a cohesive timeline of all dwarves all over the world over ten+ millennia. When we focus on a nation or city, however, we almost always have a timeline of some sort.
