A little earlier today,
@Quickleaf posted a quick overview in another thread:
OK! The book is out! And it’s companion PDF! Wjat are the Easter eggs not found yet? What speculations do uuu have for the future based upon them?

Wait, so there aren't any more example Domains? I was hoping for at least a rundown of some archfey and domains, like the Summer Queen or Prince of Frost.
Thanks Quondam. I didn't realize this would get its own thread! Here's my thoughts re-posted:
Chapter 1 - Feywild Overview is really well done and full of imminently useful stuff. No clues or easter eggs to speak of, just reiterating that Summer Court = Seelie Court (Titania leads), and Gloaming Court = Unseelie Court (Queen of Air and Darkness leads).
Chapter 2 - Creating an Archfey is four pages that just felt paper thin to me. Not sure how much space was devoted in VGtR for making dark lords, but I feel like it was more comprehensive than this. No clues or easter eggs.
Chapter 3 - Creating a Domain of Delight is short but well done, definitely enough tables to provide you with a creative foundation to springboard off from. At the end, on the Domain Visitors table is mention of an arcanoloth searching for one of the
Books of Keeping – which seemed odd, unless the Queen of Air and Darkness is known for binding yugoloths?
Chapter 4 - Putting it All Together covers the archfey Yarnspinner, a paragraph on its domain Fablerise (which is apparently located in Thither within Prismeer), and a full page art spread.
And then there's 13 pages reprinting handouts from Witchlight's appendix: NPC Cards & Story Tracker. Which kind of sucks, because really that stuff should be a free download, in my opinion, for DMs who don't have easy access to a photocopier, who don't want to crack the binding on their book, or who are using a Roll20/Fantasy Grounds copy of the book but want the physical handouts.
But it's going to a good charity, so there's that.
