I haven't flicked through the regular edition before, so I don't know the
contents.  The Special Issue version however comes in a carboard box,
within which is a silver coloured thick slipcase to house the silver
coloured thick hardcover book.  The slipcase is embossed with a picture of
the moon but otherwise has no decoration or printing.  The cover of the
book itself is embossed with the title but little else.  If I'm not
mistaken the regular edition is softcover and has a picture of Rei on the
front.

Also included with the Special Issue version are 3 posters.  The first is a
100cm x 62cm folder poster of Asuka (in plugsuit) - the magnification on
the poster is large enough that you can discern the texture of the
linework.  The other posters are 31cm x 24.5cm pictures on thickish card.
One is the full version of the picture of Rei which appears on the cover of
the regular edition.  The other is one of the pictures depicting some women
and some cars - this picture appears over two pages in the book itself.  I
assume, but don't know myself, that these posters don't come with the
regular edition and aren't reproduced in the pages of the regular edition.

The Special Issue book itself is about 170 pages long (110 pages in colour)
and printed on thick, good quality paper.  It does finish with an 8 page
interview with Sadamoto (in Japanese, of course).  It does not comes with a
CD (at least my copy didn't have one  ^_^;;  ) - I think someone on this ML
(George perhaps?) was simply hoping that it would come with a CD.

Hope that helps,
