Books, not off hand, though I can say I appreciate well-packaged exposition, such as the historical lessons between chapters in Cherryh's _Cyteen_, or her setting-setup prologues. Some authors, such as Iain Banks and Ken MacLeod, delight in throwing you into a setting and letting you figure out what's happened, and I can enjoy that. OTOH, I also appreciated MacLeod in _The Stone Canal_ expositing (expanding) on what I'd figured out in _The Star Fraction_.
For _Sunshine_, I figured out the world's basic features, but an expository dump somewhere could have been nice. Or as swan_tower says, a sequel. Here I suspect we want more information than actually exists in McKinley's brain, though.
The begging I can remember easily right now has been in anime. Scrapped Princess came through (mostly), pleasantly confirming what I'd guessed at. Noein eventually talked a lot but missed out on crucial plot elements. Juuni Kokki might be coming through, but my "Please! Exposition!" was a recent exclamation in club. Especially when MainCharFromEarth ran into a troupe specializing in their world's creation myths. "Please! Show us!"
A paragraph can be worth a thousand pictures
