The raising the bar book, goes over bits which were left out of HL2 and goes into the detail of some of the story. Also goes into the background, who does the voice acting, the way things ended up like they did and why. Just lots of information.

Yes, it is full of art pictures(concept art) and what Half-Life2 went through from start to finish. It is a very good book, it even shows who they modeled for faces and who voice casted them. For example, they found a hobo off the street selling flowers or something and modeled his face for Eli.

Worth every penny. Looks great on your coffee table as well.

It's more of an artbook rather than a making of, but it's still worth every penny.
