I think that's all that is said.
So does anyone think Dougie will be mentioned in S3? It sounds like Frost just used that character for the book, so it seems unlikely, right?

Are you able to elaborate please? Exact quotes? Video/audio of this? What book tour location did this happen at? Etc.

That's my guess. I think MF chose to flesh out Dougie's back story precisely because he's a previously established character who doesn't really figure in to S3.

I have a feeling his general impact on all sorts of things from the book will be felt, but mentions of him specifically will probably not happen. Frost knew the season three content and (probably) tailored the book to set up this new season.
All the speculation about different timelines and stuff, made me remember the Festival of Disruption video in which Lynch was going to tell us something about Season 3, then said we're out of time...

The only egregious omission is that Carl Rodd's entire letter is absent from the audiobook (as is TP's corresponding commentary on the Bohemian Grove / Illuminati / owl connection). Certainly not the most important part of the book, but I do love me some Carl.
The narrators are a mixed bag. Morrison (Briggs) and Cariou (Doug Milford?) are both solid; Wersching is often cringeworthy. Horse is phenomenal, both as Chief Joseph and Hawk -- probably the only parts of the audiobook I might go out of my way to revisit in years to come. MacLachlan, as I've already said, is almost defiantly non-Cooperish in his delivery, making me wonder why they even bothered getting him to read that section. Tamblyn gets an A for effort, but his eccentric emphases rarely line up with the content of what he's saying -- it's almost Shatneresque at points. I get the sense that he did one cold reading of each section, and didn't really understand much of what he was reading/saying. Still, it's nice to hear that recognizable voice again.
What page is Carl's letter on? Just glanced through the book and can't see it.

Thanks. I've been pretty much audiobook only thus far. Just checked it out.
That's a weird thing to remove! I can see why they'd take out "inessential" items like the favourite book list, ads, blurbs & such - although these add a lot and make me glad I have the print version, trying to include them would mess up the flow of the book - but I can't see a reason to skip the letter. It's actually more awkward to take it out, and leaves the reader wondering why the fuss about a letter we're not told the content of.
Speaking of the removal of "incidental" matter from the audiobook, it makes it that much more pronounced that in the section on the football game the actor reading from the post article makes a point of reading the truncated opening of the next story (about a go-kart crash) - which made me take another look at the book, and it turns out that all the newspaper clippings aside from that one have been carefully cut so as to only include the relevant story. Does this go-kart accident have some significance I'm missing? I thought it might be a cute reference to something from one of the other books (I've only read the diary)
MacLachlan, as I've already said, is almost defiantly non-Cooperish in his delivery, making me wonder why they even bothered getting him to read that section.
Keep in mind, he's reading a document that Cooper wrote, rather than acting out words Cooper says, or reading a letter or message that would have a more personal style. Apart from his praise of the diner the document is a factual, mostly neutral account that Cooper's personality is not injected into much (as opposed to Hawk's story of Ed and Nadine, which is much chattier in tone).
