EDIT: winning races is online stuff, silly.

(And by default.. Revenant and Half-Elves) Essentials books.. Rule Comprendrium is something I think might be a "Gotta get" book, at least one at the table so you can look up a rule on something. 3.5 had something similar, and if I had the printed version, would probally help a lot. Dark sun may or may not be something to add. There is a few other supplement books, but as you are looking for either PHB 4 or a XXX Power book, no. There isn't anything for you coming out.

Specifically Player Essentials: Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms and Player Essentials: Heroes of the Fallen Lands. The Dark Sun campaign guide will also be introducing new races, themes, and I believe several new builds. That puts the number of player books between PHB3 and PHB4(3 generic standard player books, 3 race books, and 1 campaign book) on pace to be equal to or possibly even exceed the number of player books between PHB2 and PHB3(5 generic standard player books, 1 race book, and 1 campaign book).
