> Is it a Christmas book?
It is actually. A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic
its from the always sunny in philadelphia "self-help" book
you can buy it on amazon
This is the one my wife got for me off of Amazon, preordered it the day it went live lol. I think it has all the art from S1 plus a ton of other interesting visual stuff; they have some layouts for their camera pathing within the 3D environments, pretty neat that it's included but it's also a big part of how they plan out each episode/scene.
When the show started my wife loved the concept art so much I made her a fun 'concept art' book snagging a bunch of whatever art I could find off of Favreau's twitter and throwing it into a nice Shutterfly photo book. Nowhere near as complete as the official one though :)
And this companion book is HILARIOUS. Our copy arrived yesterday. It’s a “children’s” book that is definitely not written for kids.
You can read the full information about what it is at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Studios-Definitive-Behind-Blockbuster/dp/1419732447/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+story+of+marvel+studios&qid=1621286605&sr=8-1
It sounds pretty comprehensive and it took so long that it makes sense it'd be new stuff we hadn't seen before. But I'll probably wait until reviews just to see since it's a lot of dough.
It's going to include Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel, so it wasn't likely to turn up this May. Still worth the wait though? Looks a hell of a beast.
I preordered it from Amazon, but it’s no longer available for preorder. My order no longer has an estimated delivery date.

I devoured Future Noir throughout the ‘90s, so finally being able to watch the Workprint was a literal dream come true.
Well, a recipe book exists! I’ve been buying random shit off of amazon because of quarantine and it was one of my purchases.
Even if the recipe was able to make it rise as much as in the movie, it still wouldn’t make up for the bland taste.
According to this post, there are apparently at least two versions of the book; the initial version with the timeline and a revised version that removed the timeline.
Also, Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years is official but not "official" official. The "official" official one is The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I haven't, though some of the links from my original posts on it have a bunch.
I also think that this book might have some stuff too: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens/dp/1419717804

Excellent paper quality and binding.i originally purchased it to do a custom rebinding, putting all 3 volumes plus Hobbit together to make The Red Book of Westmarch but the paper is too heavy (and expensive), the binding too strong, and the cover and spine too lovely (that is without the dust jackets, though I love those too) for me to ever consider disassembly.
I got copies from Amazon Warehouse (listed under 'other sellers I think) for around $25 (because I was going to destroy their assembly) and even THOSE ALLEGEDLY DAMAGED 75% OFF COPIES WERE TOO GORGEOUS FOR ME TO EVER DISASSEMBLE THEM.
That’s my personal favorite set. Smyth-sewn and possibly cloth-bound as well (my older version is, at least)
It looks like a live-action of Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown
https://www.amazon.com/Darth-Vader-Son-Jeffrey-Brown/dp/145210655X
​
What if Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if "Luke, I am your father" was just a stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and sweet Star Wars® comics reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other—except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith. Celebrated artist Jeffrey Brown's delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars® moments a fresh parenting books twist, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of a galaxy far, far away. Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar, Take Your Child to Work Day on the Death Star ("Er, he looks just like you, Lord Vader!"), and the special bond shared between any father and son. It's a great option for baby shower gifts, especially for the expectant father. Darth Vader and Son is a Star Wars® book that makes a great gift or a just because purchase for yourself!

If this is the book I think it is, I got it for my brother as a gift for Christmas years ago. I think he lost it though which is super lame. I personally have not read it. But it's called "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The 7 Secrets of Awakening the Highly Effective Four-Hour Giant, Today."
If this exists in a one volume, this. Otherwise Im thinking about custom binding it with a matching copy of Hobbit in red to recreate 'the red book' as described in RotK.

This https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Studios-Definitive-Behind-Blockbuster/dp/1419732447 is the making of the MCU. It includes every project through the entire infinity saga. It has no mention what so ever of anything produced by ABC or Netflix.
The phase box sets likewise include not a single mention of anything produced by ABC or Netflix or Hulu or anyone else.
There is not a single mention of anything in anything produced by Marvel Studios that acknowledges on any level anything that took place outside of Marvel Studios.

The other groups sure do WISH they were a part of the MCU. The question isn't will the MCU disown them (they don't have to, in the same way that I don't have to claim that my neighbors car isn't mine even though it's parked on the same street as mine). It's more that those things need to be acknowledged to gain some credibility. Something that the cast and crew of Agents of Shield have been public about never receiving.
Yo, we gotta hang out. That's basically what we do, and we add a reading of this immaculate masterpiece into the mix.
Can't speak to B&N, but here it is on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Die-Hard-Christmas-Illustrated-Editions/dp/1608879763
This might be a good edition to your collection (though might not be entirely kid appropriate)
Sorry about the double reply. Thought of something else I wanted to say.
The OP isn't wrong that a one-volume edition of LotR is cumbersome to read. It's fine as a reference book or just to leaf through, but it's a PITA (ahem, Pain In The Arm) to read of LotR in. On the other hand, it's what Tolkien wanted. He wasn't happy that LotR was published in 3 volumes, though his publisher insisted.
If you're looking for a well-corrected text, the 2020 Edition illustrated by Alan Lee was the best-corrected text prior to the 2021 single volume and is, unless you're looking for a critical edition or one with which to do scholarship, just fine for most people.

It’s a print from a book called “Star Wars -Propaganda”
It’s detailed in this: The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419732447/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RS7PH4SV32TC1N34MA2E)
Essentially, Ant Man began development with Edgar Wright right at the beginning of the MCU, and was initially intended to be one of the first movies. It eventually went on the back burner while Edgar worked on other projects. By the time he came back to it, the MCU was in full swing and the movies needed to be more interconnected, which Edgar had issues reconciling (creatively) with what he wanted from the plot. So he stepped away.
The heist plot is basically Edgar’s (and why he still has a writing credit), all the connected stuff (like Falcon’s cameo) was added after he left.
