Quotes from other fictional books being used as an Epigraph or part of the frame of the story. They are not part of the text proper.
These quotes are always apposite and often provide painless exposition, rather than relying on As You Know — style conversations. In Speculative Fiction, fictitious encyclopedias are often used, such as Asimov's Encyclopedia Galactica. Journal entries, biographies, or in-universe histories (often supposedly written years into the future of the story events) can also be used. Can be part of a Scrap Book Story. In Video Games, these tend to be more-or-less random and not immediately relevant to the story and can be used to give the player something to read on a Loading Screen or in a Lore Codex.
Compare Mind Screwdriver.

In Othercide, the Codex gives information about the characters, memories, and events of the game as you unlock the entries. Articles in the Codex include insights and accounts from the Mother and the Child (eg. The Child mentions that the Plague Butchers were once benign volunteers who had the ugly task of breaking down infected corpses but have either come to like it or the process had unlocked the darkness within them).

The X-Universe games have an in-game encyclopedia of game objects, corporations, governments, trade goods, and the like. Almost everything in the game has a little bit of history behind it — viewing the info for the Dragon corvette will talk about the Dragon Incident that nearly destroyed the prototype and the station it was housed in, for example.
The Encyclopedia returns in X: Rebirth, which seems to show it as being something like Wikipedia — Ren Otani modifies several entries (about the Albion Skunk) until he reaches one that has been locked by the Plutarch Corporation government.

Too many to count in the margins of Nobilis, most notably the works of Emily Chen (Doorknobs, Viridian, A Small Detour To Altair and others), Kneader Guy (Earth Stories, Air Stories, Fire Stories, Water Stories and Void Stories), Luc Ginnes (On Serving the Nobilis, Legends of the Nobilis and Void Stories), Jackie Robinson (Parables for Our Modern Age and Small Gods), Merriweather James (Principals of The Dark), and Agusta Valentina (A Philosophy of Treason). So extensive was the collection of works with "excerpts" in the book that many readers were surprised to learn that none of them were real.
Third edition introduces The Voice of Morrowen Hollow, a book created specifically for the character creation section of Antithesis 1i, which deals with...well...the Voice of Morrowen Hollow.

In the Designer's Notes of Alpha Centauri, Brian Reynolds said that Frank Herbert was his favorite science fiction author and cited The Jesus Incident as "the most important influence on the story of Planet".

Elemental Logic: Each section of Fire Logic is prefaced by quotes from three imaginary books: Mackapee's Principles for Community, Mabin's Warefare, and Medric's History of My Father's People. Mackapee was an ancient earth witch whose book became the basis of Shaftali culture and ideals. Mabin is a leader of La Résistance who is becoming very much like the Sainnite invaders she so hates. And Medric, son of a Sainnite man and a Shaftali woman, is trying to make peace between both peoples because he realizes that the alternative is the destruction of both the Sainnites in Shaftal and much of Shaftali culture. Their views suggest the past, present, and future of the country, and the writing and distribution of Medric's book is a major plot in the sequel.

Paranoia: XP Service Pack 1 has numerous examples. Early in the book, one of the pages is duplicated with text messages from hackers covering it, and the first letter of every sentence supposedly spelling out a secret message: "MIKE-U LIVES".
The next page repeats the trick: "NO HE DOESN'T".
The 2nd edition rulebook presents "Tips for Traitors" as an excerpt from a much larger in-universe document.
Reading the above is considered metagaming. Metagaming is treason. Please report immediately to your nearest Termination Booth.

In the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the protagonist repeatedly turns to an advice book of the same name.
Which actually exists: Shepherd Mead wrote a series of cartoon books in the 1950s which were parodies of then-current how-to books, one of which provided the title and inspiration for the musical. The book was republished in 1995 with the revival of the musical.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2, however, do not have an official in-game encyclopedia, meaning there's no information on the basic XCOM equipment like there is in the original games from the '90s. However, every time a research project is finished, you're given a report on the project, which usually includes information that is not specific to the game mechanics (for example, Cyberdisks are stated to include a small amount of conventional biological material, but mostly seem to somehow be a silicon-based lifeform), fleshing out the lore and providing some Foreshadowing on the motivations of the alien invaders. The reports are lost in the destruction of XCOM headquarters at the canonical end of the first game, though XCOM rebuilds and improves on their knowledge in the second game.

"Search by the Foundation": When published in Second Foundation, four Encyclopedia Galactica entries were added. Chapter 1, "Arcadia", is prefaced by an entry for Arkady Darell, with details about her career as a novelist in both Fiction and Non-Fiction formats. Chapter 2, "Seldon's Plan", is prefaced by an entry for Mathematics, quoting Seldon's opinion on n-dimensional geometry. Chapter 9, "Through The Grid", is prefaced by an entry for Trantor, as it existed in the middle of the Interregnum. Chapter 13, "End of War", is prefaced by an entry for the Battle of Quoriston, where the Foundation defeats Kalgan's navy.

Pournelle's CoDominium series:
In Falkenberg's Legion, it is used sparingly, with about 3-4 entries in the work. Latter novels Go Tell the Spartans and Prince of Sparta have excerpts from a number of sources, including essays, news reports, and even letters, at the beginning of each chapter.
In The Mote in God's Eye, excerpts appear when characters decide to look them up on their PDAs, and flow smoothly with the narration.
Oddly enough, the sequel to The Mote in God's Eye actually (for the most part) uses real historical quotes.
Pournelle's collaborator, Larry Niven, is also very fond of this. His book Destiny's Road is full of quotes from planetary science surveys, local lore regarding the colonization of an alien world and the ultimate fate of some colonists, and quotes regarding local customs. A very early chapter opens rather ominously quoting an excerpt of a military absentee court-martial.

The Myth Adventures humorous fantasy novels written by Robert Lynn Asprin. Each chapter has a fictitious quote. An example might be something like, "Violence is never the right thing to do" - Attila the Hun.
Asprin has commented that he bitterly came to regret doing this, as making up all the quotes proved to be the hardest part of writing the novels. The later books in the series drop the practice.

Several of the novels in the Arrivals from the Dark and Trevelyan's Mission series make use of fictional texts to provide exposition, which doesn't stop the protagonist from repeating some of those facts later. In particular, The Faraway Saikat has every chapter ending with a passage from one of the four or five fictional books on the Kni'lina mentioned early on, describing the race's history, politics, culture, and religion (for example, Analogies between Buddhism and Yezdan'tabi by Pal Bonjipadhal).

Mass Effect: The Codex is an in-universe document and therefore limited to what is public knowledge, not what the player finds out. It is also occasionally made deliberately wrong by its in-universe makers; one shining example is in ME2 when you look up "Sovereign" — apparently, Mr. Vanguard-of-Our-Destruction was a geth ship that just happened to look like a Reaper. In the Expanded Universe novel Mass Effect: Ascension, the character Gillian Grayson starts reciting a page from a textbook. Said textbook's text is taken word-for-word from the Codex.

Foundation Series:
Terminus is founded based on the premise that they will be collecting all of history and science into a single reference volume, an Encyclopedia Galactica. Said volume is used to illustrate certain setting details relevant to the story/chapter it prefaces as an Epigraph. More specifically, the 116th edition, published in 1020 F.E. In "The Encyclopedists", the colonists learn that Hari Seldon had tricked them and that he never expected any volumes to be published. Despite this, they continue to collate information and publish revisions as In-Universe Science Marches On and Technology Marches On. In Foundation's Edge, Golan Trevize mentions the Encyclopedia Galactica is now a continually updated computer archive (an idea predating the establishment of Wikipedia, Microsoft Encarta or Encyclopedia Britannica Online).
"The Psychohistorians": This story expands the role that the Encyclopedia Galactica plays, providing excerpts from the entries for Hari Seldon, Trantor, Psychohistory, and The Commission of Public Safety. It also establishes the book as the objective pursued by everyone sent to Terminus.
"The Encyclopedists": When published in Foundation (1951), this story is prefaced by the Encyclopedia Galactica entry for Terminus.
"The Mayors": When published in Foundation (1951), this story is prefaced by the Encyclopedia Galactica entry for the Four Kingdoms.
"The Traders": When published in Foundation (1951), this story is prefaced by the Encyclopedia Galactica entry for the Traders.
"The Merchant Princes": Essays on History, by Ligurn Vier, originally provides an Epigraph for this story when it was published in Astounding Science Fiction.
"The Merchant Princes": When this story is republished in Foundation (1951), an entry from the Encyclopedia Galactica for the Traders replaces the Essays on History, and the story ends with the entry for Korell.
"The General (Foundation)": When published in the original Astounding Science Fiction magazine, chapters 1 & 2 have an italic paragraph to help introduce the setting, describing Trantor's and Terminus's governments. No attribution is given here, but they are replaced with Encyclopedia Galactica entries.
"The General (Foundation)": When published in Foundation and Empire, three Encyclopedia Galactica entries were added. Chapter 1 has an entry on Bel Riose, chapter 2 has an entry on the Foundation, and chapter 4 has an entry on Cleon II.
"The Mule": When published in Foundation and Empire, two Encyclopedia Galactica entries were added. Chapter 11 (first chapter of "The Mule") has an entry on the Mule, and chapter 22 has an entry on Neotrantor.
"Search by the Mule": Essays on History, by Ligurn Vier, originally provides an Epigraph for this story when it was published in Astounding Science Fiction.
"Search by the Mule": When republished in Second Foundation, this story is prefaced by the Encyclopedia Galactica entry for the Mule instead of Ligurn Vier's text.
"Search by the Foundation": When published in Second Foundation, four Encyclopedia Galactica entries were added. Chapter 1, "Arcadia", is prefaced by an entry for Arkady Darell, with details about her career as a novelist in both Fiction and Non-Fiction formats. Chapter 2, "Seldon's Plan", is prefaced by an entry for Mathematics, quoting Seldon's opinion on n-dimensional geometry. Chapter 9, "Through The Grid", is prefaced by an entry for Trantor, as it existed in the middle of the Interregnum. Chapter 13, "End of War", is prefaced by an entry for the Battle of Quoriston, where the Foundation defeats Kalgan's navy.
Prelude to Foundation: This novel has an Encyclopedia Galactica entry for each of the nineteen chapters, beginning with Emperor Cleon I and ending with Hari Seldon. Both Trantor (2&5) and the Mycogen sector (7&9) appear twice, and most entries are about someone Seldon meets during that chapter.
Forward the Foundation: This novel is broken into four parts ("Eto Demerzel", "Cleon I", "Dors Venabili", and "Wanda Seldon"), with a matching Encyclopedia Galactica entry for each. It also ends the story with sections of the entry for Hari Seldon, giving the official details about his death and burial.

Pokémon: The Pokédex, which is devoted to providing information about Pokémon, such as appearance, attributes, and locations. However, it's vague whether or not the entries read in-game are meant to be excerpts or the full thing. Also, some of the entries are likely made on the spot by the device in-universe, such as with Legendaries, whose abilities are not exactly common knowledge among Poké-experts except as folklore.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII: The Compilation has the play Loveless which is incredibly popular in-game. Crisis Core references it most often though it makes less sense than it had in the original game.
Vagrant Story opens with a quote from famed historian Alazlam Durai, author of The Durai Papers: 400 Years of Truth.
Several characters in Final Fantasy IX are theater buffs. One particular fictional play, I Want To Be Your Canary, has particular symbolic importance to the plot, and a few characters quote it during plot sequences.
Final Fantasy XII has an expansive bestiary that holds theories and information about the various monsters, people, and Espers the party defeat in their travels. In addition, killing enough of the specific types of wild encounters uncovers additional information about the places in Ivalice, and sometimes about rare items that certain enemies randomly drop.
Final Fantasy XIII takes this a step further—the datalog mixes entries like this in with All There in the Manual.

Sarpadian Empires, which provides much of the flavor text to the "Fallen Empires" expansion of Magic: The Gathering. Much of Magic's flavor text counts as this, actually, but this is the most iconic example. Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII appears as an actual card in the Time Spiral set.
Many Kamigawa block cards quoted extensively from fictional sources, as flavorwise the texts represent a retrospective historical view of the Kami War. The most common source to be quoted from is The History of Kamigawa, including a card of the original autho— err, tome.

The Van Richten's Guide series of Ravenloft supplements use this device constantly, both as in-character 'citations' by in-character "author" Van Richten and as flavor-text sidebars. Such references come from personal journals, ship's logs, letters, and other written testimony from individuals who have encountered dangerous monsters; hence, the Undead Author trope often comes into play. Sometimes literally.

Every chapter in the Second Apocalypse series opens with one or two quotes from In-Universe works, many of which are philosophical or historical in nature. One notable such work is a history of the events of the first trilogy, written after the fact by Drusas Achamian, one of the main characters, which makes the first trilogy also a mild case of Direct Line to the Author.

XCOM 2 has a weird version. Whenever the aliens make a move on the world map, each Dark Event they play has an accompanying quote... from one of your own teammates. Subverted in that they provide little actual exposition and just exist for flavor, and sometimes the quotes have little to do with the Dark Event on-screen, so the flavor part is debatable.

Diablo III contains a wealth of lore on monsters and the world that can be discovered in-game through lore entries. The two most frequent authors of such are Deckard Cain who dies early in-game at the hands of Maghda and Abd Al-Hazir who it's implied met a similar fate at the hands of Magdha's coven in Caldeum after witnessing a particularly gruesome ritual.

The Guide itself, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
And sometimes the Encyclopaedia Galactica in the series, although the Guide has the major selling point of being slightly cheaper and having "Don't Panic" printed in large friendly letters on the cover (as well as not taking up a parking lot).
Also subverted; sometimes the Guide's entries are full of non-sequiturs and gags completely irrelevant to the story. Sometimes these are never mentioned again, and sometimes they become plot-critical brick jokes as a double-subversion.

The Foundation Trilogy: The Encyclopedia Galactica excerpts are read in a monotone voice and artificially adjusted to sound more robotic. It's also overlaid with a clicking sound to imply a computer recording. The excerpts primarily appear at the start of certain story segments aligning to their publication as a Novel, it also shows up to interrupt the text, like a footnote. During "Part Seven: The Mule Finds", the excerpt is changed from the Mule to an excerpt about Kalgan, capital of the Mule's empire.

The Prince Roger series follows in Eddings' footsteps by having the book open with commentary from a biographer who is writing from a much later point after the events in the books. Some of the things the biographer says are quite important, especially the bits that show that Roger never really shakes the reputation the Big Bad planted that he killed his family and drove his mother mad in order to force her to abdicate so that he could take over the Empire.

The Stone Dance of the Chameleon prefaces all its chapters with excerpts from in-universe documents, most often the writings of the Wise.

X-COM has the UFO-pedia, which updates whenever your research of your enemy's units and technology (and your units and technology) makes an advance. For the most part, it is fluff, but some information is tactically (and story-wise) relevant. Some other X-Com clone games (UFO Extraterrestrials, Xenonauts, UFO After Blank) sometimes provide additional info about the setting on their UFO/whatever-pedias as well.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2, however, do not have an official in-game encyclopedia, meaning there's no information on the basic XCOM equipment like there is in the original games from the '90s. However, every time a research project is finished, you're given a report on the project, which usually includes information that is not specific to the game mechanics (for example, Cyberdisks are stated to include a small amount of conventional biological material, but mostly seem to somehow be a silicon-based lifeform), fleshing out the lore and providing some Foreshadowing on the motivations of the alien invaders. The reports are lost in the destruction of XCOM headquarters at the canonical end of the first game, though XCOM rebuilds and improves on their knowledge in the second game.
XCOM 2 has a weird version. Whenever the aliens make a move on the world map, each Dark Event they play has an accompanying quote... from one of your own teammates. Subverted in that they provide little actual exposition and just exist for flavor, and sometimes the quotes have little to do with the Dark Event on-screen, so the flavor part is debatable.
The UFO After Blank series deserves special mention for literally having the encyclopedia written as reports given to a commanding officer. In the first game in particular, the entry for the alien weapons specifically include "you hold it here, and pull the trigger here, and the energy beam is emitted here" in a text-only report.

Every chapter of The Dinosaur Lords starts with an extract from either The Book of True Names, which speaks about species of dinosaurs and their applications in society, or A Primer to Paradise for the Improvement of Young Minds, which focuses on the Fantasy Pantheon of Paradise.

Aliens vs. Predator 2: When the player accesses the mission objectives screen, they are also presented with short excerpts from the "incident report" compiled by Weyland-Yutani after the end of the game. It is both used as an atmospheric framing device, and a way of including subtle foreshadowing — for example, in the mission where the Predator first appears, the report excerpt categorically states that despite the insistence of certain parties, there was no physical evidence of the involvement of a third species. Also, each level in the game begins with a timestamp, such as "Incident minus two days," "Incident plus three weeks," or the ominous "Incident Start."

To the Stars is set centuries ahead of the magical girl anime on which it's based, where their existence has become known. Naturally they were militarized by the government; the chapters not only begin with relevant background information by magical girl historians but also excerpts from MG military manuals.
