This really is excellent value for the T&T fan.
The companion has a great deal of interesting material.It has loads of classes or Types as we T&Ters call them , which are well balanced and straightforwardly described. It also has advice on a number of combat stunts and how to handle them, and various other optional rules - Hero points, Priests and Priestly spells, a magic weapon generation table, some talents and a rule to get an additional talent by taking a disadvantage, a bestiary of monsters for Keepers of Lingusia (but usable anywhere), and an adventure. It has a number of good illustrations which complement the text. It is attractive and easy to read.
But theres more! Keepers of Lingusia itself is 342 pages of setting and background material, including NPC's, guilds, city descriptions, history and maps. Lots of maps. It is written for Castles and Crusades, but we all know how easy it is to adapt material for T&T. This should provide the core material for the biggest sandbox campaign you can think of.
Finally the icing on the cake is episode 42 of the Sorcerers Scrolls, a well written 50 page roleplay magazine. Of particular interest for the T&T player is the kindred for Lingusia, but there are also articles for Traveller and 4e D&D which are worth a read.
This is a great package with a lot of ideas for you to pick up on at a very reasonable price.
