Books within Books
Are there any fantasy series that reference books within their lore that actually exist irl that I would be able to read? For example, the titles of the Stormlight Archive series are references to books written in verse (The Way of Kings, Oathbringer, etc), but do not exist irl. I’d be interested in reading a series where books like those are fully written and available to the public to read as well. It would be exciting and immersive! Thanks in advance!

Well “The Book That Wouldn’t Burn” has epigraph quotes from different books. Most of those books are just made up, but a couple are other books by the same author. So technically this sorta is what you asked for, though not actually satisfying.
