I found this book called The Unoffical Guide to Neon Genesis Evangelion. It offers very detailed explanations involving the deeper mysterys of EVA, Including biblical referances and Rei's abillaty to reproduce(she can't). If anyone has seen or read this book tell me what you thought of it.

I would only trust info from the infamous Red Cross Book, seen at Eva Otaku

This site has all thr infor from the book, from what I have heard about that unofficial book, it sounds like some guys watched the show with a notepad and wrote a book based on what they found.

Thats a possable explanation. It is unoffical so the info could have come from anywhere. I'm going to sabbatoge myself and say I liked it. The only thing I had a problem with was the cheap look and that some of the personal opinoins of the authors were put in it.

Alright 007, don’t forget to take some C4, a wristwatch laser, and your handy dandy pen of mind control.

I’ve read the book, nothing more than educated guesses, some of the same stuff fans have speculated on forever and a day. With some extra info to back it up (not much). Save your money.

Is it true that they couldn't use any actual Eva art in it because of copyright concerns?

Nah, I don't care, whatever people think is good, let them.

Meanwhile, I'll sit here and act high and mighty over the fact that I don't need no book to get my own understanding of Eva

Yeah, that book is crap, don't trust it. Anyone could write up a bunch of hypothetical answers to the questions regarding Evangelion and then release it... and many people probably wouldn't make the mistakes that this book does.
