Subject pretty much asks the question. In the process of filling in the gaps of my Jethro Tull 40th anniversary sets, having come EXTREMELY late to the game, I discovered that the Marillion catalogue has also been reissued in a similar book format with remixed multichannel versions.

Are there any other artists that have received this same treatment (or that are forthcoming)?

Other than the PITA of getting the discs out of the [CENSORED] clip holders, I like the design of these packages overall.
 
Loreena Mckennitt's "The Visit" was released in a similar size and format. It's about 0.1 inches taller than the Jethro Tull editions, and includes 4 CD's + Blu-ray with Atmos, 5.1 and hi-res stereo versions.
 
Opeth's Deliverance & Damnation reissue (2 CD + 2 DVD) had this format as well. Here's a pic for comparison:

Fish's first two solo albums will also be released in this format; he had already used it for Weltschmerz and the remix of 13th Star.

There are other releases in a book format without a multichannel disc, like the reissue of Odds & Sods by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Paul McCartney's Pure McCartney, Pink Floyd's Early Years sets (which do include a little bit of multichannel in form of the Atom Heart Mother and "Echoes" quad mixes, plus Pompeii in surround) or The Beatles' 1+ (which is mainly about the video but does have 5.1 soundtracks as well).
