Der Mond: The Art of Neon Genesis Evangelion is just one of the many books on the popular anime. Many of them are in Japanese. This is one that's translated to English by publisher Viz Media. It's a larger than usual art book, hardcover, 120 pages and reads from right to left.
It collects the art of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the Japanese artist who created the characters for Evangelion. The pages are filled with huge beautiful prints. If you collect the manga series, you'll find some pieces familiar because they are the chapter splash pages. Most of the art are character based, and there are also some sketches which I like.
It's not all Evangelion art though. Towards the back there are also illustrations from other projects like games and other anime. The only I recognise is Fatal Fury fighting game. The others are The Wings of Honneamise, Leiqunni Nondelaiko, Nadia of the Mysterious Seas, Aoki Uru and others. There's even an album cover for Eric Clapton.
There isn't any commentary beside the credits for the illustrations.
Nice book for the anime and manga fans of the series.

I attained this as a birthday gift from a friend a few years ago. The main attraction if you're big into Evangelion is going to be the full-page watercolour style masterpieces depicting Shinji, Rei, Asuka and the Evas of course. The book also contains early development sketches of the characters, looking quite different than they do in the final animation. Several high quality pieces of other miscellaneous characters make up the bulk of the book, mostly following a futuristic/cyberpunk theme.
If you're a fan of Eva or wanting some great reference pictures for inspiration; well, you could do a lot worse.
