My guess is it is like the recent Sandman complete box set: softcover. As for the coloring, my guess is that they will be the new recolorings. The one bit of information that points otherwise is that these appear to be the same breakdown of issues as the earlier standard hardcover set. DC might just take what they have on hand for those.
EDIT: The Penguin Random House entry for the box set says its a trade paperback, so that seems to be confirmation on that aspect at least.

The blurb on the Penguin Random House site has this: "The second and final omnibus of Peter Gross' amazing run of The Books of Magic series!"
Many took this to mean that DC had pulled back on the 3-volume idea. However, the current solicitation says its part of a 3-volume set again. The "second and final" seems to refer to only Peter Gross's contributions, so the PRH blurb is also true. It is very strange though.
Of course, depending on the sales of Volume 2, Volume 3 could still end up cancelled. But it may very well come out. We shall see!
There are at least three minis/series that would be the bulk of a third omni: The Names of Magic, Hunter: The Age of Magic, and Books of Magick: Life During Wartime. This would amount to 45 issues. There may be other short series or one offs as well.
But if we stick with 45, that would be rough equivalent to the first volume and a bit shorter than the second.

Are books getting released early at Barnes & Noble? I just picked up Batman E1 v3 and it's not meant to be out till Tuesday.
Can anyone speak to the quality of the Y The Last Man Compendium in terms of build, paper quality, etc.
Can't seem to find any info on the internets.
The Fables compendiums I have are well built and even after reading them the spine is intact.
