Overall, an absolutely awesome deal if you like the background information and detail-oriented stuff that really breathes life into your RPG settings.
The bundle has a wide range of products, most of which i found interesting reads. Most of the products were short (20 pages or so, give or take), but considering that you are getting a bunch of them, you will be reading for quite a while.
The only products that I didnt care for were the currency stuff (although I could print some off and use it with my next Monopoly game...), the tavern menus (not something that I get into in my games, though they were cool to read through) and the paper minis though you only get one paper mini product (there's no substitute for the metal/resin/plastics all painted up).
There are so many different things in the bundle that I can't go into them here. Personally, I like the various monster books as they add a lot of depth to the generic monster types. I mean, we've all dealt with Goblins before, but your campaign can now include a half dozen or so special goblin types instead.
A handful of the books also included new feats and magic items, which I always love. The SRD magic items don't have much character, so anything that beefs up those options are welcome.
In short, if you are looking for a bundle to base a campaign off of, skip this. But if you want to make your campaign setting super-interesting and able to surprise even the most veteran players, then you gotta grab this!
