Has anyone grabbed this humongous book yet.  The History of EC Comics is absolutely gigantic and weighs a ton.  I'm loving the beautiful photos and accompanying information.

It's a fantastic book with huge glossy photos.  With close to 600 pages and over 13 pounds, I'm having a blast with it!

I have the book- Horror Comics Of The 1950s (aka The EC Library Of The 1950s) published in 1971 by Nostalgia Press. It's huge, though not nearly the 13 lbs you mentioned for the book posted above. It reprints 23 EC stories and has some other EC related content.

This edition was published on October 11, 2020 and is limited to 5,000 copies.  I have #3191.  Here is a photo of the book that comes in the cardboard case.  The colors and artwork are beautiful.

There is one original story only found in this book by William Gaines and Angelo Torres called "An Eye For An Eye" and this makes the book a key EC collectable.
