Usually it'll contain:
- Character profiles, detailed production sketches
- Setting sketches
- Opening and ending song guides
- Poster reprints
- Episode-by-episode synopses
- Interviews with the producer or voice actor/actresses
- Freebies such as a pull-out poster or a CD
In my opinion, the fanbook/guidebook is the BEST reference there is for any series. It contains pretty much everything you want to know and has the original color keys, perfect for cosplay reference.
I'm hoping that the Vampire Knight one announced for November will be the anime fanbook.
