I finammy got my hands on this !
Since there was no digital release, I had to get it shipped to France.
A fun book written by Patrick Ehlers who wrote the fun Sourcebook of IDW TMNT.
It expands lore on characters (mutants or extraordinary beings) who roamed the Earth, characters from IDW Volume 1 run, Nightwatcher series and Mutant Island issue are covered.
There are a lot of exclusive Mateus Santolouco drawings, which is very cool, and some characters were drawn for the first time by him.

The book is supposed to be Lindsey Baker's notes who compiled data from the stories of the Mutanimals and the Turtles as well as stolen data from Null and EPF.

Spoiler:

Also Baxter Stockman stole the notes so he adds his own comments and even censors information. Basically he is even more resourceful than we knew ! We learn that he came from a rich family, has another company, knows more important people, worked with someone in the past, might reach the scientists who created Dreadmon, and has an hidden Dragon Corpse project.
IDW might have some plans for Baker and Stockman, who knows ?

Got mine last month, really disappointed we didn't get more mutants. I really thought Sheena's band deserved a full 2 page spread rather than just a mention on her page.

Didn't buy it, but for the retail price you'd really think they would have gone crazy overboard with literal anatomy drawings for almost everybody.

Yeah, I would've thought it would've showed like their muscles and skeletons playing the instruments. I was really hoping for more of mutant town, maybe a few before they were mutated pictures. Especially with Lucia.
