I have followed Icons for over five years and have purchased nearly every product (save a lot of the adventures) and I have never been disappointed. Icons Presents is no exception.
It is basically a sequel to Icons A-Z as it offers a lot of advice and optional rules for the game, ranging from "how to use armed forces" to "how to make Icons feel like more gritty, Iron Age comics". My personal favorite sections of this book were the ones that explained how to do a "Space Patrol series" like the Green Lantern corps, "Panels and Pages" which explains how to make your game feel more like a comic book, and a section om how to play more "Fantasy" games with the Icons rule system.
Just to wrap things up, the art in the book is fairly good, related well to whatever was being discussed, and I only saw onepiece of art that I had seen in a previous book. There were a few typos scattered through out the book, but these didn't detract enough from the product to justify lowering my score amd I could almost always tell what the intended idea was.
In conclusion, if you are a fan of Icons then I can't recommend Icons Presents enough. It was worth every penny.
