Looking for examples published by creators rather than fans or third parties

What do you mean? Most series don't actually publish artifacts like encyclopedias. Just refer to fictional ones via extracts

I did read Douglas Adams' Meaning of Liff/Deeper Meaning of Liff dictionaries. Not quite world-building tho

I get that. I'm just wondering if anyone has chosen to make the world building the main creative challenge.

I think Dragonriders of Pern did some of that
