94 page A4 guide book containing:

- Pinup poster.
Picture of Lelouch riding a horse in his childhood.

- Character profiles (1 page), Anime digest (1 page).
Amazon review says only has profiles of 4 character but that can't be right...

- 25 episode story digest. 2 pages for episodes 1~23, 3 pages for 24 & 25.

- World guide, concept art, explanations (14 pages)

- Interviews with Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch), Takahiro Sakurai (Suzaku), Yukana (C.C.) and Ami Koshimizu (Kallen).

- 3 page Manga of Zero infiltrating the Code Geass production studio.

Do show us what the contents of the book look like!

Also available on YesAsia (http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-comics/pid-1005017932/) and HLJ (http://www.hlj.com/product/KDK54118).

As for which source is better, it's based on personal preferences. I found yesasia takes a longer time to locate stocks for japanese books before shipping it to you. But you may be able to get free shipping if you purchase $25US or more if u live in the US, or $39US or more if u live in Canada. HLJ, it really depends (and your luck) since their stock indicator is not really "real-time" (which means stock level is updated manually) and they use SAL or EMS. Amazon is probably the safest way to go in terms of stock and speed but not the cheapest option since they use FedEx for International Shipping (they won't do SAL or any other methods because they want the tracking system). As for e-hon, I haven't tried it.

As for the character profile, I've only seen scans for Lelouch, CC, Suzaku and Karen. So I'm not sure if there's more or just 4.

Would you mind telling me where these scans can be found please? I'd like to see what's actually in the book before deciding to buy it or not as it's compiled by Newtype and I already have their other "complete guide" from their magazine.

Sankyu~

Hmmm... Looks like the typical Newtype layout. Can't really see what it says on the episode guide pages but, it definitely has more screenshots and a tiny bit more information with the key points. Wish the poster was a group pic!

A third review's popped up on Amazon confirming there's only 4 character profiles... Strange move. Not sure I want to buy it now ^^;

Found a few more pictures at this blog:

Episode 25 guide has C.C.'s full quote before she *Spoiler*.
