Until now, that part of the painter’s process remained mostly hidden, but historian Ron Schick’s new book “Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera”(Little, Brown; $40) reveals the primary texts next to the colorful classics they became, and the result is truly impossible to put down. Shakespeare & Co. Booksellers; 716 Broadway; 212-529-1330.
