but yeah, it’s an amazingly dense book.

I would be curious how many pages it would take to recreate this book with the current layout of DnD5x
FRCS 3e remains the gold standard for an encyclopedic tome. My only complaint is that there weren't more instances of site adventure maps with an ultra-simplified key, so you didn't feel compelled to hunt down a billion sourcebooks to run adventures in some of these locales. That and leaving the big regional encounter charts for the DM Screen supplement.
Faiths & Pantheons is absolutely incredible. It did a great job of summarizing the deities, making them gameable for clerics, and making it clear how/why they were so involved in the material plane.
Lost Empires of Faerun was really good for making the history of the setting gameable. And for correcting a lot of really dumb naming conventions from late-era 2E supplements.
The 2E setting boxed set was great for the setting maps and hex overlay. Not having hexes on maps is a real, real pain, given its a conceit of the game through nearly every edition.
