I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there is "Defying
Gravity: The Making of Newton" by David Menuez (photography) and Markos
Kounalakis (text), published by Beyond Words Publishing Inc.
ISBN:0-941831-94-9. It is a photographic and text account of the race to
bring Newton to market.
