This is nothing more than a repackaging of previously-published material. It appears to be a HarperCollins initiative, and no unpublished manuscripts are involved.
I also expect that "Lives of the Numenoreans" and other NoME material will not be included, simply because it's too abstruse and hardcore.
The one silver lining from what to me looks like a quick cash-grab, is that the more people who read what Tolkien actually wrote about the Second Age - and presumably the target audience is potential Amazon viewers - the more will realize how much the TV show has absolutely nothing to do with it.
