The Red Cross Book is a Japanese pamphlet that was sold in the cinema to people who came to see The End of Evangelion. It cost 800 yen.
Having no official name, the pamphlet has been dubbed the "Red Cross Book" due to its front cover, which is black with a red cross superimposed over it.
Essentially, the Red Cross Book is a glossary for terms used in the Neon Genesis Evangelion series, as well as Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion.
