"Ship of Theseus" is incredible. It's a novel written by a fictional author whose circumstances and life outweigh his writing, and the bulk of the story is in the notes written into the margins by two students sharing the book. It has various relevant odds and ends stuffed into the pages, too, so it's almost like you're unraveling the mystery of the author with the students as you go. There's even a radio station you can listen to! I can't say enough about it; definitely get your hands on it if you can!

...this is the concept book curated/produced/whatever by JJ Abrams, isn't it? Is it really that good? I'm thinking they've just updated/upsold a more gimmicky version of those letters-between-two-friends books that were so popular in the early '90s.

Here, this is it (though now that I reread the synopsis, it sounds a tad creepy):

http://www.amazon.com/The-Griffin-Sabine-Trilogy-Boxed/dp/0811806960

I never read these when they first came out, but there was a lot of hype over them (granted, I was living in the author's hometown at the time, so).

Of course, the very first version was Agrippa, but now I'm really showing how long in the tooth I am......

I was actually shocked at how good it was! It didn't feel gimmicky to me, and the character development was surprisingly in-depth considering how much of it is in notes. Looking at the trilogy you linked, it sounds slightly similar, but I think it takes it in a whole other direction-- plus you have what's actually a pretty good novel to read as you go. I obviously wouldn't go so far as to say that it's the first book to ever do the "extra correspondence" thing, but it did fit in under weird books and I think it's a pretty fresh take on it. ^^
