The book is tightly bound in full black leatherette, maintaining sharp corners and a rigid spine, with the front board's inset illustration and silver double-fillet borders remaining bright and unrubbed. The boards are exceptionally clean, save for a cluster of minuscule, superficial white flecks near the front hinge. Internally, the page block is completely clean, crisp, and unblemished, featuring bright silver-gilt page edges and retaining its original blue silk ribbon marker, with no signs of reading wear. The limitation page bears a clear, unfaded signature in silver ink. The matching wrap-around illustrated slipcase is rigid and entirely free of edge-wear, bumping, or scuffing, presenting beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is the deluxe Limited Collector's Edition, strictly limited to 500 numbered copies, of which this is number 466.

Signed and numbered copies of this exact edition, particularly with the slipcase intact, have become increasingly scarce on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet fifty years apart, two independent stories weave back and forth with mesmerising symmetry. In 1977, Ben longs for the father he has never known; in 1927, Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his mother's room and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out alone on desperate quests to find what they are missing. Ben’s story is told entirely in words, while Rose’s unfolds entirely in breathtaking pencil illustrations. Rich, complex, and deeply affecting, \u003ci\u003eWonderstruck\u003c\/i\u003e is a visual and literary marvel about family, friendship, and discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54814173331795,"sku":"5324","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260820_101807.jpg?v=1788255887","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/wonderstruck-brian-selznick-limited-collectors-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
