Totally legitimate although cheap.
Not proper "collectors' item", just a smart move to reach a wider public (sold by all newsagents, advertised on all TV channels) that would not go on purpose to a record store to buy the four CDs individually.
IIRC, over the last couple of years that magazine has been regularly releasing compilations and albums from several artists who are very popular in Italy (both Italian and foreign).
Value added: complete lyrics book (lyrics were/are not included in the original GH inlay booklets).
Good policy IMHO: I bought it because I only had GH1-2 on vinyl but would think twice before paying the CDs full-price (low budget, other items higher in priority).

Okay, thanks Gnomo. Now that I know it's legit, what about the other half of my question? I looked at the pictures, and the tracklisting is blurry, so I can't see what's on it. Or is only GH stuff?

There's no way to say this without hurting your feelings, so please keep in mind that it's a friendly verbal joust...
PIGEONS LEARN FASTER THAN YOU! :P
Now that that's out. It's just a repackaging of the three GH compilations plus LOLSOS plus a nifty lyrics booklet. Basically four albums that I would imagine everyone has and a book with information that's easily accessible for free on the Internet.
Nothing special, really. Just a nice package (ahem!), that's all. And a collector's item.

... oh, poor GH ... :-) :-)
It's just a box including standard GH1 + GH2 + GH3 + LOLSOS CDs; plus additional lyrics booklet.
Aimed to the general public, who knows little about the band but would like to have the basics at hand, in a nice package if possible, and understand a bit about it if possible.
Hope the tracklisting is readable enough here:
