I flipped through a copy in the store today.
It looked pretty nice. Lots of flashy art, mostly digital stuff.
If you want a ton of minor variations on weapons and armor, this is for you.
In my roughly 5 minute glance through I felt a lot of the items or abilities were either really odd or really un-original. Not that there weren't any cool things, but they seemed a minority to me. For example, there was an item that was a pair of boots (or leggings ???) that let you air walk 1/day. I feel I could go through the PH and come up with literally hundreds of magic items that simply cast spells for you.
If you don't have MaoF, buy that first. If you do have it and still want more swords of <verb>ing and shields of <adjective>ness, then you probably want this book.
For me, at $25, I did not consider it for very long. When I first picked it up, I assumed it would be about $15 based on other books of comparable size.
In fairness, I am pretty picky. I am sure that some people who want more and more published magic items will think this book is great. And I will not argue with them.
